What to Know

The Raptors have enjoyed a four-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will square off against the Orlando Magic at 7:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Amway Center. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 19 more assists than your opponent, a fact the Raptors proved on Sunday. They put the hurt on Detroit with a sharp 142-113 win.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead the Raptors to victory, but perhaps none more so than Pascal Siakam, who scored 23 points along with 7 rebounds and 6 assists. The team also got some help courtesy of Jakob Poeltl, who dropped a double-double on 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Magic entered their tilt with the Pacers with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. Orlando walked away with a 128-116 victory over Indiana on Sunday.

The losses dropped Toronto to 6-7 and Detroit to 2-12.

The pair pleased both fans and bettors in their last matches by winning and covering the spread. As for their next game, the Magic are expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. They might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a three game streak of covering the spread when expected to win.

The Raptors beat the Magic 123-113 in their previous matchup back in February. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Raptors since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
