The Toronto Raptors erased a 21-point deficit in a huge come-from-behind victory over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday
Following four straight losses, the Magic (23-22) return to Kia Center on Thursday when they host the Trail Blazers, who beat the Heat on Tuesday. Second-year guard Anthony Black filled in for Anthony, who had started the last three games.
Scottie Barnes had 17 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists as the Toronto Raptors defeated the visiting Orlando Magic 109-93 on Tuesday night.
The Orlando Magic built a 21-point lead after eight minutes, but with only eight available players, that advantage wouldn't be enough. The Toronto Raptors' second-half blitz led to a fourth consecutive loss for Orlando — all of them by double digits.
Scottie Barnes had 17 points and 11 rebounds, RJ Barrett scored 19 points and the Toronto Raptors overcame a 21-point deficit to beat the struggling Orlando Magic 109-93.
The pregame narrative: Paolo Banchero is back but on a minutes restriction. With three Magic starters sidelined, back Toronto to cover an alternate spread while fading Bachero’s point total. A prop bet on Gradey Dick rounds out this +290 wager.
Offensively, Quickley’s presence would surely help Dick over time. Dick is by far the most dangerous shooter in the Raptors’ starting lineup and gets treated as such. The clean looks in the half court are few and far between.
Orlando enters the matchup with a 23-21 record, looking to stay afloat in the Eastern Conference playoff race as they navigate the season dealing with a number of crucial injuries. Magic star Paolo Banchero returned to action on January 10 after missing over two months of play due to a torn oblique.
