The Portland Trail Blazers will welcome the Orlando Magic next in the NBA, looking to return to winning ways. They arrive for their second meeting of the season in 10th place in the West standings, whereas the Magic are sixth in the East. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

The Blazers saw a three-match winning run snapped last time out, and they will be keen to avoid successive setbacks. Thiago Splitter’s men lost at home 110-102 to Eastern Conference high-flyers Detroit.

They had defeated the Warriors and won twice against the Kings before losing to the Pistons. Though they have lacked consistency, the Blazers have placed themselves in the playoff picture with a 12-16 record. Jrue Holiday, Matisse Thybulle, and Jerami Grant are ruled out with injuries.

The Magic will continue to be without Jalen Suggs, Franz and Moritz Wagner, and Tristan da Silva. Missing Franz, Tristan, and Jalen has impacted them greatly, as they are the team’s top offensive pieces.

Franz leads the team in points, while Suggs is second on that list, with Tristan one of their more efficient players. The Magic have felt the absence of the three as they have lost three of their last four games.

They also haven’t won back-to-back fixtures since the start of December. Jamahl Mosley’s men are coming off a 23-point blowout loss away to the Warriors.
