Wed Mar 05 02:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Magic Favored Against Raptors in Tuesday Night Showdown

**Orlando, FL** – The Orlando Magic (29-33) host the Toronto Raptors (19-42) on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET in a rematch of Sunday’s nail-biting contest. The Magic, despite losing Sunday’s game 104-102, are favored by 7.5 points in the upcoming matchup.

The Raptors, who won two of their three previous games against Orlando this season, boast a strong against-the-spread (ATS) record of 34-25-2 this season. However, they face a significant challenge in Orlando, where the Magic are 18-14 at home and have a strong 14-8 ATS record as home favorites.

Orlando’s key players, Franz Wagner (25 ppg) and Paolo Banchero (23.6 ppg), will be crucial to their success. However, the team’s injury report includes Cole Anthony (toe) who is questionable and Jalen Suggs (knee), who is out for the season.

Toronto is also dealing with injuries, with Brandon Ingram (ankle), Gradey Dick (knee), and Ochai Agbaji (ankle) all sidelined. Despite these absences, the Raptors have five players averaging double-digit points, led by Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett. Their strong ATS record, particularly when they have one day of rest (24-12), makes them a potential upset threat.
