The Toronto Raptors hit the road for a meeting with the Orlando Magic on Friday night.
The pregame narrative: Toronto just returned from a West Coast road trip, losing to the New York Knicks handily on Wednesday. Now, the Raptors are in Orlando for one night before beginning a five-game homestand. They are slight 1.5-point underdogs amid this odd scheduling quirk.
Check out my Raptors vs. Magic prop picks for Jan. 30, featuring Anthony Black and Scottie Barnes.

Raptors vs. Magic prop picks
Best Bet: Black over 1.5 threes (-130)
Black started the season as a bench player, but the third-year lottery pick out of Arkansas has found his way into the starting lineup for the last 22 games.
Mostly, it was because of Jalen Suggs missing time. Tonight, Franz Wagner is out, sliding Desmond Bane to small forward and Black to shooting guard.
Opportunities came knocking, and Black answered. Check out his stats as a starter:
- 18.7 points/game
- 2.3 threes/game
- 38.6 3PT%

Black has gone 15-7 against this line since entering the starting lineup, and he’s hit multiple triples in seven of his last eight games.
In that eight-game segment, he is averaging 2.8 makes on 42.3% shooting.
Toronto is a great defensive team, with the second-best 3-point defence in the NBA. But Black is taking — and making — enough shots where that doesn’t matter to me.
Key stat: Black has attempted 7+ threes in three straight games, clearing this line each time.
Raptors picks and predictions
Barnes over 7.5 rebounds (-143): My apologies in advance for giving out two plays with this much juice.
But Barnes has been a wrecking ball on the glass lately, so I think it’s worth it.
- The power forward has cleared this mark in four of his last five games, with seven rebounds in the outlier.
- Barnes has had 7+ rebounds in 14 of his last 16 games, a very solid floor to work with.
-> Bet on Scottie Barnes tonight!
Barnes recorded 11 rebounds in a game against the Magic on Dec. 29 (without Jakob Poeltl, who is also out tonight). He is now 5-1 against this line in his last six games versus Orlando and should keep the rebounds coming.
