Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic: Prediction, Starting Lineups and Betting Tips

One of the seven games on the NBA schedule for Sunday is the Toronto Raptors vs Orlando Magic. It's the third and final matchup between the two teams this season, with the Magic looking for the series sweep. The last time Orlando swept Toronto in a season series was in the 2011-12 NBA season.

The Magic are one of the surprise teams this season, thanks in large part to Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. Head coach Jamahl Mosley also deserves a lot of credit, with the franchise recently awarding him a four-year contract extension.

Meanwhile, the Raptors have officially started rebuilding after trading stars OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam earlier this season. Scottie Barnes being named an All-Star was a good way to start a new era, but he's recently out with a hand injury.
