The Magic had a double road trip ahead of their meeting with Denver and lost both games to top Eastern Conference opponents. First, the team fell short against Milwaukee, falling behind by more than 20 points at the end of the first half and never coming back in the game - 93:122. Then about the same thing happened in the game at TD Garden with Boston - 94:121.
Overall, Orlando already has six defeats in the last nine games. In the Eastern Conference standings, the Floridians have fallen to seventh place. The overall balance of wins is 23-19. In addition, the problems of the Magic's offense are becoming more and more evident, in terms of efficiency of which they are the worst this season. However, with the return of Franz Wagner on the floor, this situation may change.
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets recently lost cleanly at home to Houston (108:128), failing to cope with the absence of Nikola Jokic due to injury, and breaking the series of five four wins in a row. In the previous game, Michael Malone's team may have started a new successful stretch. On the road against Miami, Jokic returned to the court, made a triple-double (24 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists), and Denver brought the opponent the final 20 - 133:113.
Thus, the Nuggets reached the balance of wins in 23-16, and confidently close the top-4 of the Western Conference. In addition, Denver is in the top-3 of the offensive rating, scoring 120.3 points per game on average.

Expert Betting Tips
Denver has had a tough time with Orlando in recent seasons, but now the Nuggets are likely to break their losing streak in this matchup.
