Expert picks & predictions for Sunday’s Raptors vs. Magic game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Under between the Magic and Raptors:

"Three of the past four Magic games have combined for 210 or fewer points and the Raptors needed OT to reach 115 points themselves as the fourth quarter slowed down against the Bulls. This is the third meeting between these teams and the scores went for a combined 202 and 203 points. I could see another Under, but the best bet is to take the loser of this game on Tuesday."
