The Orlando Magic travel to the Capital One Arena to face the Washington Wizards in the NBA on Tuesday. The Wizards (9-25) are second-bottom in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Magic (20-16) are in sixth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Washington Wizards enter this match following a 141-115 drubbing by the Timberwolves on Sunday, but they have shown signs of life lately, winning four of their five games before that.
CJ McCollum led the team with 20 points, but his time in the capital could be coming to an end, with rumours circulating that the franchise is lining up a trade with the Hawks for Trae Young.
The Wizards are 5-12 at home this season and the clear underdogs in this match, but they are now three wins clear of the Pacers at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic come into this one following a 135-127 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Desmond Bane led the team with 31 points, while Paolo Bachero added 28.
The Magic shot an impressive 56% from the field and went 15 of 32 from range. Consistency has been an issue for the team, though, as they have not won two consecutive games since November.
However, the visitors will be confident in their chances of changing that, having beaten this opponent by 31 points in their last meeting back in November.
