Washington Wizards vs Orlando Magic Prediction: Magic Outside Hogwarts

After the match with New Orleans, Orlando will face Washington in a back-to-back format. Will Magic cope with such a difficult test?

The Wizards continue their pursuit of the Eastern Conference play-in zone. At the moment, Wes Anseld's team is in 12th place with a balance of 19-26 and is only two wins behind the top ten. The handicap is small, although given the instability with which Washington is playing in this championship, it will be extremely difficult for the team to qualify for the final playoff.

Washington unexpectedly coped on the road with New York in the previous game. 116:105 - Kyle Kuzma scored 27 points, and 13 rebounds, and Kristaps Porzingis scored 22 +11 on the same indicator. Bradley Bill, who returned from injury, recorded 18 points. Without exaggeration, the Wizards played one of their best matches in the current championship.

Magic will complete the first part of the back-to-back, in which they will face New Orleans after the publication of this text. Before that, Orlando had a good trip to the teams of the Western Conference: it won against Golden State (115:101) and Portland (109:106), lost to Utah by only 4 points (108:112) and Denver by 3 (116:119), having failed only in the game with Sacramento (111:136). A good result of the tour for a young team. In the East, Orlando is in 13th place with a balance of 16-28.

Orlando will have a back-to-back, but last time the team, when the Magic beat Portland the day after the game with Sacramento, it didn't stop. Considering how unstable Washington is in this championship, the quotes for the Wizards' victory seem extremely understated here. Even despite the return of Bradley Beale to the court, Wes Anseld's team may stumble again – the star defenders have yet to get into optimal shape.
