This interconference NBA fixture will see the Orlando Magic trade tackles with the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.

Read on for our prediction.

The Orlando Magic suffered a shock home defeat against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. Anthony Black’s game-high 24 points made no difference as the Hornets defied the odds to silence the home crowd with a 120–105 victory at Kia Center. 

The two-time Eastern Conference champions have now lost four of their last six games, including an 11-point defeat to the Denver Nuggets on December 19, 2025. They are also winless in their three encounters with the Denver Nuggets in 2025, all of which ended in double-digit defeats

The Denver Nuggets edged past the Minnesota Timberwolves, winning 144–138 in overtime on Friday. They have alternated between wins and losses in their last four games (2–2). However, the 2023 champions have posted a solid 8–2 record in their last 10 games and have won 11 of their last 12 away fixtures, mostly by double digits. Hence, our tip for the spread.
