Portland Trail Blazers vs Orlando Magic Preview

The Trail Blazers are keeping the fight alive

The Trail Blazers come into this game after a remarkable 13-point win against the Milwaukee Bucks as Deni Advija exploded for 30 points. They have won five out of their last six games soon after a six-game losing streak. The current performance has been their best all season long and despite lacking an All-Star talent, they have managed to make some impression. Perhaps, this season can be the catalyst of something special as the quartet of Advija, Shaedon Sharpe, Scoot Henderson, and Anfernee Simons can become the stepping stones. If not, these players can help them make a big trade to change the franchise’s fortunes.

The Magic are finally feeling the injury toll

The Magic enter the game after a 6-point Overtime loss against the Heat despite a 29-point performance by Franz Wagner. They have an abysmal 4-10 record in January mostly because of a short-handed roster. Their three key players have missed a ton of games(Paolo Banchero-34, Franz Wagner:20, Jalen Suggs-13). As a result, their previously best defense in the league has loosened a lot. For example, they have given up 104.9 points a game, but in January, they have given up 108.4 PPG. But perhaps their biggest weakness is their long-range shooting. They make the league-worst 11.7 threes per game on the worst percentage (30.7%).

Portland Trail Blazers vs Orlando Magic– Final Prediction and Additional Information

The Trail Blazers have done well lately, but it is difficult to trust them to keep their winning run going because of their fragile depth. However, the Magic have their issues to comb, especially away from home. But I expect Wagner and Co. to put on a strong effort here and stave off the Trail Blazers. The total can be in the 202-212 range with Magic holding Trail Blazers under 102 points.

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
