MAGIC @ WARRIORS 2/3/25

Following a 20-20 start to the season, the Golden State Warriors planned to rise from the tightly packed Western Conference rankings. Since January 18, they have been on a favorable home stretch. The Warriors played nine straight games in the state of California, eight of which were true home games. The Warriors beat the Washington Wizards, Chicago Bulls, Utah Jazz, and the Oklahoma City Thunder but lost games to the Boston Celtics, Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Lakers, and Phoenix Suns.


With an upcoming substantial road trip, where the Warriors will be away for 12 of the next 14 games, the team finds itself on shaky ground. They stand in the middle, closer to the bottom than the top of the Western Conference. The question on everyone's mind as we approach the trade deadline - will a possible loss to the Magic, marking a disappointing 4-5 run, shift their strategy to selling?


Steve Kerr, the Warriors' coach, didn't mince words and emphasized the need for change. He stated unequivocally that complacency is not an option for his team, and if a beneficial proposition arises, action will be taken.


Orlando could be described as the Warriors’ Eastern Conference equivalent. With a record of 24-26, they have a slightly worse record than the Warriors, but they're better positioned in the overall standings due to fewer winning teams in the Eastern Conference.


Unlike the Warriors, the Magic are amid the most challenging part of their season, on the fourth leg of a six-game road trip. Yet, they can see light at the end of the tunnel with a home stretch of 10 out of 11 games on the horizon.


Despite recent losses at Miami, Portland, and Utah, the Magic draw optimism from the comeback of their star player Paolo Banchero, who had missed time due to a torn right oblique. His triumphant return alongside the talented Franz Wagner, who bounced back from his own oblique injury, is a sight for sore eyes for Magic fans.


The Magic are just 1-8 SU and ATS in their last 9 games. They are 1-10 SU in their last 11 games against Golden State and they haven’t had much success against the number when on the road. Orlando is 0-6 ATS in its last six road games.


These two teams will meet again in Orlando later this month. Historically, the team that has won the first meeting of the season has won the second. Over the past several seasons, that has been Golden State. The Warriors are 4-2 ATS in their last six games.
