Here's the thing: the Magic rolling into Toronto right now feels different. Orlando's won 8 of their last 10, including a gritty 114-106 win over the Pelicans, showing they've found their rhythm, especially on defense. Toronto, meanwhile, has hit a bit of a skid, dropping four of their last six, though they did manage to edge out the Knicks 119-114 last week.
The key matchup to watch will be Franz Wagner trying to navigate Scottie Barnes' length and playmaking. Barnes is a handful, but Wagner's got that quiet confidence and a knack for timely buckets, averaging 19.7 points in March. The Raptors' home crowd is always a factor, but the Magic's defensive intensity, holding opponents to under 100 points in five of their last ten, is the real difference maker here. I think Orlando's current form is just too strong.
Orlando takes it, 108-103.
