Portland Trail Blazers vs Orlando Magic Prediction: Will the Magic be able to cope with such a tough test?

Orlando will face Portland in back-to-back games after their matchup with Sacramento. Will the Magic be able to cope with such a tough test?

The Trail Blazers had an extremely disappointing road series on the eve of the meeting with Orlando, losing three games out of three. On the road, the team failed to beat Minnesota (106:131), Indiana (99:108), and Toronto (105:117). Over the last nine games, Portland had seven losses. Oregon dropped to 10th place in the Western Conference standings with a negative 19-20 win-loss record.

The Magic are not a serious contender for the tournament title this season, but the team can beat anyone in single games. Orlando beat Golden State (115:101) on the road in the Sacramento-Portland back-to-back game. In mid-December, for example, the Magic beat Eastern Conference leader Boston twice. Orlando is currently 15-25 overall and 13th in the West standings.

After a disappointing stretch of three straight losses, Portland is again in danger of falling even out of the play-in zone. More likely, there will be no surprises here, and the Trail Blazers will break their losing streak. The results of their head-to-head encounter with the Magic speak in favor of Chauncey Billups' team in the upcoming game.
