On the offensive end, the Raptors do a great job running the fast break and taking care of the ball. The Raptors are led by their dynamic duo of Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet. Coming off a 35-point outing against the Pistons, expect VanVleet to come out firing against an Orlando defense that allows the sixth-most threes per game. They are especially stout down low as they allow the fifth-fewest points in the paint per game. While he continues to struggle with his shooting efficiency, the veteran guard is a high-volume outside shooter who has averaged 3.4 made threes across his last five appearances. That defense is the strength of their team as they allow just 113.5 PPG – 16th in the NBA. Toronto has won four of their last five games and sits in ninth place in the East. The Magic are led by their pair of young wings in Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero. The Raptors covered 48% of their games while 57% went over. The Magic covered 58% of their games while 52% went under the projected point total. Orlando has won two of their last three games but still sits in 13th place in the Eastern Conference. [Orlando Magic](/nba/orlando-magic) (24-34) visit the [Toronto Raptors](/nba/toronto-raptors) (27-31) on Tuesday night.

The Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic close the book on a four-game season series tonight at Scotiabank Arena.

Raptors over 29.5 points 1Q (-114): We backed the Raptors at this exact number last time out and they came through, so let’s run it back. Toronto piled up 36 in the first when it hosted Orlando in December. That matched his eighth-worst field goal percentage and 10th-fewest shot total on the season (48 games). [ NBA odds ](https://online.northstarbets.ca/page?key=ej0xMzUzNDc2MiZsPTEzNTM0OTEwJnA9MTc2OTk%3D) as of 9:27 a.m. We aren’t necessarily expecting that kind of flop again, but he still feels worthy of a fade. The pregame narrative: Pascal Siakam is cruising at home right now, so we’re looking to him for a big night against the Magic.
