Orlando Magic Daily Fantasy Spin

Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) and shooting guard Joe Ingles (ankle) will both be unavailable against the Warriors on Tuesday night. Isaac is averaging 6.4 points per game and Ingles is chipping in 4.9 points per game on the campaign. 

Orlando point guard Markelle Fultz is listed as questionable to play on Tuesday. He’s been working his way back from left knee tendinitis. Fultz is averaging 11.4 points per game in 5 starts for Orlando this season. He’s been out since November 9th but could be back this week.

Golden State Warriors Daily Fantasy Spin

Warriors power forward Draymond Green is still suspended by the league due to his role in an on-court incident last month. Green’s suspension is “indefinite,” but he could be back on the floor by the middle of January. In 15 starts for Golden State this season, Draymond Green put up 9.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.2 made three-pointers per game. In Green’s absence, Warriors forwards Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis have taken on increased roles. 

The over is 18-14 in Golden State’s games this season.

The under is 17-14-1 in Orlando’s games this season.

Golden State is 3-2 ATS with the rest advantage this season.

Golden State is 4-3 ATS in non-conference games this season.

Magic vs. Warriors NBA Prediction:

Orlando is in the middle of a grueling four-game West Coast road trip. The Magic lost at the Suns on New Year’s Eve, play at the Warriors on Tuesday night, and then play on the road against the Kings and Nuggets to round out the week. Orlando might be a young team, but the grueling travel of the NBA schedule might catch up with them this week.

Golden State is in the middle of a comforting seven-game home stand. The Warriors last played at home against the Mavericks on Friday. They dropped that contest 132-122. But they’ll have two full days to rest up before this matchup without the stress of having to travel. It’s been rough at times for the Warriors this season, but I like them to cover the soft line at home against the Magic on Tuesday night.

Magic vs. Warriors Prediction: GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS -3.5
