The Orlando Magic will welcome the struggling New Orleans Pelicans in their next assignment in the NBA. They are chasing an automatic playoff spot and arrive for this fixture in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, whereas the visitors have the second-worst record in the West. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Magic continued with their inconsistent nature this season as they fell at home to the Sixers in their most recent game. Jamahl Mosley’s men, who have lost 18 times so far, fell to their fifth loss in the last 10 games.
The result kept them outside the top six in the East. Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner missed the game as they continue to be sidelined with injuries.
There is some reprieve, though, on the injury front, with Mo Wagner expected to make his season debut in this match.
The Pelicans are coming off a strong victory in the capital, defeating fellow strugglers the Wizards 128-107. Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy combined for 66 points in Washington and guided the team towards snapping a nine-game skid.
It was just the ninth win in another campaign that has seen them fifth to avoid having the worst record in the league. The Pels have lost a joint league-leading 31 games.
Jose Alvarado and Herb Jones are out of this game, while Saddiq Bey is doubtful.

Our Orlando Magic vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
Our prediction for the Orlando Magic v the New Orleans Pelicans is that the New Orleans Pelicans wins. The Magic have struggled with inconsistency throughout the season. They have lost almost the same number of games as they have won, with almost half of their losses coming against losing sides.
The Pelicans, on their part, though one of the low-ranking teams in the league, are coming off a strong victory away in Washington. With the win, we feel they may arrive for this game with the right attitude. It is also worth remembering that the Magic are missing two of their leading scorers in Suggs and Wagner.
If your team in the Orlando Magic and New Orleans Pelicans game takes a 20-point lead, you win!
