Orlando meets Washington in this intra-conference NBA clash this evening. The Magic will not only look to return to winning ways, but strengthen their bid for a finish in the top six with a win against the Wizards. They are eighth at 31–28 on the season, while Washington sits 13th at 16–44. Here is our prediction.
The Orlando Magic are off to a disappointing start to their four-game homestand after putting up an impressive 3–1 record on their recent road trip. They fell by just five points to the Houston Rockets and lost 106–92 to the Detroit Pistons last time out on Sunday evening.
Despite this sudden drop-off, the Magic are concretely in the race for a top-six finish. They are just 1.5 games behind the Philadelphia 76ers in sixth place and will look to boost their chances with a win this evening.
The Washington Wizards' dismal run continued against the Houston Rockets on Monday evening. The Wizards were held to 48% from the field as they fell 123–118 to the Rockets, marking their fifth defeat on the bounce.
Notably, the Washington franchise comes into this fixture with six players ruled out due to injuries and on four straight losses on the road, all of which by blowout margins. They suffered double-digit defeats in six of their last seven encounters against the Orlando Magic.
