Golden State Warriors:  4-6 last 10

Orlando Magic:  7-3 last 10

The Warriors are entering this game with a 36-34 record overall and they are 18-15 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game on a 2 game losing streak with losses coming against the Indiana Pacers and the Minnesota Timberwolves in their last game, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Miami Heat still to be played on Tuesday night. In their game against the Heat, Stephen Curry led the team in points in that game with 31 while Klay Thompson was next on the team with 16 points. Gary Payton II led the team in assists in that game with 7 while Draymond Green and Gary Payton II each led the team in rebounds with 8. They were 44.7% from the field, 38.9% from 3-point range, and 76.9% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 118.3 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 116.8 PPG against them. The Warriors have an ATS record of 37-32-1 this season and their O/U record is 36-34.

The Magic are entering this game with a 42-29 record overall and they are 25-10 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a loss against the Sacramento Kings in their last game. Jonathan Isaac led the team in points in that game with 25 while Paolo Banchero was next on the team with 22 points. Cole Anthony led the team in assists in that game with 6 while Wendell Carter Jr. led the team in rebounds with 11. They were 47.7% from the field, 28.6% from 3-point range, and 72.2% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 110.8 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 108.8 PPG against them. The Magic have an ATS record of 47-24 this season and their O/U record is 32-38-1.

The current betting odds have the Magic listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Magic have looked really good in their games this season with their 42-29 record overall which has them surging up the standings in the East and in a playoff spot right now. They have looked great on their home court this year with their 25-10 home record and they have looked really good in their games lately too. Meanwhile, the Warriors have looked decent in their games this season with their 36-34 record overall, but that record only has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West right now. They have been a good road team this year with their 18-15 road record, but they haven't been consistent in those games. They are also in the last play-in spot for the playoffs in the West right now and they have the Rockets right on their tail as the Warriors are on the cusp of dropping down. The Warriors haven't looked good in their games lately either, they are only 4-6 in their last 10 games with 2 losses in a row now and they are also in a terrible situation here since they are playing this game on a back-to-back. The Magic are coming off a loss in their last one but they have been the much hotter team lately with their 7-3 record in their last 10 games. The Magic have also looked so good on their home court all year and they will be able to take advantage of a struggling Warriors team in this terrible situation. The best way to place a bet here is on the Magic to cover the spread in this game.

“The habits were much improved tonight — the defensive focus, the effort, the energy. I’m confident that if we compete and play like that these last 12 games that we’re going to put ourselves in position.” - Steve Kerr after his team’s loss against the Timberwolves in their game on Sunday.

“Nineteen lead changes, tied 13 times. I mean, that’s the battle we’ve had with them. It was similar to the game there. ... We’ll just have to keep looking at these films and how we can learn from these situations.” - Jamahl Mosley after his team’s loss against the Kings in their game on Saturday.
