🔮 Expert Prediction
The key matchup here is Paolo Banchero against Jalen Johnson, two young forwards who can impact the game on both ends. Orlando has been red-hot, winning eight of their last ten and locking down defensively, holding opponents under 100 points in six of those wins. Atlanta's been a bit more up and down, but they've got scoring punch. Even on the road, the Magic's defensive intensity carries them. Orlando wins this one, 108-101.
