In recent games, the Toronto Raptors have demonstrated impressive offensive capabilities. Notably, they scored 104 points in the first half against the Golden State Warriors, ultimately winning 141-127. Historically, when the Raptors score over 65 points in the first half, they tend to maintain their intensity in the second half, extending their lead. Their recent form, with alternating wins and losses, suggests some inconsistency, but their overall roster depth and offensive strength are noteworthy. The Raptors' defense occasionally falters against different opponents, particularly struggling to mount comebacks when trailing. Orlando Magic have showcased a stronger defensive performance. Despite a recent record of five wins and five losses in their last 10 games, the team has proven resilient against strong teams, even managing a comeback victory against the Denver Nuggets. The Magic's defense has been effective in limiting the scoring of opposing key players, especially against mid-range and long-distance shots. Data suggests the Magic control the pace of the game well in the second half, maintaining reasonable score differences. The home-court advantage could also be a factor for the Magic. In this matchup, the Raptors need to be wary of the Magic's fast-break attacks. The Magic, in turn, must prevent the Raptors' outside shooting from disrupting their defensive balance. These aspects will be key in determining the outcome of the game. NBA 12-30 08:30 Toronto Raptors -- Orlando Magic Prediction: Under 222
