NBA Betting - Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic Preview

NBA - Toronto Raptors v Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic go in search of their 5th road win after dropping 2 this season and will be especially buoyed after their win against the Boston Celtics in their last game around taking a big lead early in the game.

What will favor the Magic against the Raptors in this early fixture is that they tend to have a bigger bench this season which can help them with the scoring even when the big players are out.

With JJ Redick, Matt Barnes, Anthony Johnson, Gortat, Anderson and Bass, I don't think there is any other bench team that is stronger than the Orlando Magic. Orlando look to have the advantage heading in this season and should look to win the Eastern Conference this season.

With a starting line up of All-Stars including Vince Carter, Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis along with support players Pietrus and Jason Williams, will definitely help the Magic dominate.

The Raptors on the other hand are now on 4-1 at home, but have failed to match up with the interior defence of many of the teams they have faced so far. Hedo Turkoglu faces his former team and that will be a good match up against Vince Carter coming up. Bosh has been fairly good, but will struggle to match up against the 3-point shot of Rashard Lewis.

Overall the Raptors have struggled due to poor bench production as soon as the loss of Kapono, but the rest of the bench looks pretty useless.

Magic will look to build on their win against Boston with another win over the Raptors in this game.
