On Tuesday, the 12-17 Blazers will be mere 2.5-point underdogs when they host the Orlando Magic at the Moda Center on Christmas Eve. It's the second meeting between these cross-conference rivals, but this matchup comes after Orlando suffered a 97-120 defeat to the Warriors, their worst loss of the season.
The Magic struggled in several aspects of their game at the Chase Center, particularly their three-point shooting, making only 7 of 37 attempts, while their opponents attempted all 37. Orlando also committed 18 turnovers, allowing the Warriors to score 62 points in the paint. Orlando coach Mosley warned that they must now prepare to face another physically imposing team like the Warriors, Portland, and that they need to learn from this loss. Paolo Banchero scored 21 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the loss to Golden State. Only four Orlando players scored in double figures that day.
The Blazers will play at home on consecutive nights after losing 111-102 to the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons on Monday. When Detroit's Cunningham fouled out, the Blazers went on a 12-2 run down the stretch to close the gap, but the Pistons showed resilience to pull away with an 11-2 run of their own. Even so, it was a standout effort from Portland, with Deni Avdija contributing 18 points.

Our Portland Trail Blazers vs Orlando Magic Prediction
An important statistic is that 9 of the last 10 games between Portland and Orlando resulted in a Game Total Under bet. This includes their previous matchup this season at the Kia Center, which ended 115-112, falling short of the 235.0 points set by the bookmakers.
Both teams are likely missing three-point shooters due to injury; their absence has left both teams with just 7 three-pointers in their respective recent losses. Another Game Total Under, therefore, seems likely.
Our prediction for Trail Blazers vs Magic is: Under 232.5.
