What to Know
The Orlando Magic are 2-11 against the Portland Trail Blazers since December of 2015, but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Tuesday. Orlando will face off against Portland on the road at 10 p.m. ET at Moda Center at the Rose Quarter. Both teams were wiped off the court in their previous games and will be looking to bounce back in a big way.
The Magic were pulverized by the Boston Celtics 116-83 on Sunday. Small forward Franz Wagner wasn’t much of a difference maker for Orlando; Wagner finished with only eight points on 4-for-13 shooting in his 26 minutes on the court.
Meanwhile, Rip City found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 137-108 punch to the gut against the Milwaukee Bucks this past Saturday. Portland was down 107-75 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Shooting guard Anfernee Simons (19 points), shooting guard Ben McLemore (19 points), and shooting guard CJ McCollum (17 points) were the top scorers for Portland.
The Magic are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Now might not be the best time to take Orlando against the spread since they’ve let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.
Orlando is now 12-43 while Portland sits at 21-33. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: Orlando has only been able to knock down 43.20% percent of their shots, which is the third lowest field goal percentage in the league. Portland has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 47.40% from the floor on average, which is the third highest shooting percentage allowed in the league. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
