The Toronto Raptors host the Orlando Magic in the NBA regular season. It is at the Scotiabank Arena and on the night of Friday to Saturday that these two Eastern Conference franchises will face each other. Darko Rajakovic’s players have finally rediscovered the taste of victory! Beaten 11 times consecutively between December 6 and 31, the Raptors put an end to the bleeding by defeating the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday evening (130-113). This success, its 8th of the 2024-2025 financial year, the Canadian franchise obtained it largely thanks to Scottie Barnes (33 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists) and Immanuel Quickley (21 points and 15 assists), all two omnipresents against the Nets. Absent almost since the start of the season, the second city showed upon his return that he was an essential cog in the proper functioning of Toronto.
Orlando has been less well in recent weeks… and that’s totally understandable! Without its two best players, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, nor the precious Mo Wagner, the Magic is logically no longer the same team, and it shows in the results (8 defeats in the last 13 matches). The miraculous victories obtained against Miami or Brooklyn allow the Florida franchise to still appear in the top 4 of the Eastern Conference, but it will quickly be necessary for Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner to return to the field to remain so high in the ranking.
