— Orlando Magic (@OrlandoMagic) February 2, 2025
Golden State is the narrow favorite when taking into account how well they perform at home and the struggles Orlando has faced recently. The Magic seems to not be doing well when trying to cover the spread. They have gone 1-8 in the last 9 games and 0-6 in their last 6 road games. Conversely, the Warriors having been good covering the spread recently, doing so in four of the last six games. At the same time, the Magic are likely to slow down the pace of the game since the line total is set low at 212.5.
| Team | SP/RL | TOTAL | ML | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magic | +2.5 (-105) | Over 212.5 (-110) | +120 |  |
| Warriors | -2.5 (-115) | Under 212.5 (-110) | -140 | |

Franz Wagner (SF) vs. Stephen Curry (PG)
For the persistently struggling Magic, Wagner has been a reliable brightspot, averaging 25.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. Franz posseses the unique ability to create a shot for himself and the versatility to defend multiple positions. With his below average three-point shooting percentage, Orlando’s offensive efficiency will suffer against a perimeter oriented team like the Warriors. If he manages to heat up early against Golden State’s defense, it will be beneficial to the Magic’s chances of winning, and help swing the momentum in their favor.
On the other side, Stephen Curry continues to be the heart and soul of the Warriors. If nothing else, Curry’s stats reveal a consistent 22.1 points per game alongside 6.2 assists. Even in a below average year, the three time champion has been great. The Golden State offense is one of the most dangerous in the league due to Curry’s ability to stretch the floor and pull defenders away from the basket. Curry’s efficiency from beyond the arc will be a key factor in this matchup, especially against an Orlando defense that has struggled against elite shooters.
Orlando Magic’s Recent Struggles A Deep Dive
The Magic’s overall form has dipped significantly, as they have only one win in their last five outings, with the victory coming against Detroit Pistons. The offensive nadir has been extremely alarming because they have managed to score more than 100 points only once in their last five games. Orlando has lost their last six games on the road and their supporting cast will have to step up if they are to have any chance against the Golden State Warriors.
Golden State Warriors’ Home Dominance
The Golden State Warriors have struggled at times this season but towards the end of the regular season, they have had 10 victories in 11 home games, which is impressive. The last outing was a blowout loss against Phoenix, but they managed to key wins against Oklahoma City, Utah, and Chicago too. The Warriors have been scoring more than 110 points in their last five games, which is astonishing especially when considering that Orlando has been having issues defending the ne in the recent weeks.

Orlando Magic vs. Golden State Warriors Betting Predictions
Golden State has a strong statistical advantage, especially when playing at home. Orlando’s recent performance both straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) has been poor, making them an extremely risky selection. The Warriors have a definite edge with their offensive firepower and high perimeter shooting percentage. Orlando’s best hope is to slow the tempo of the game and try to keep Golden State from launching too many threes, but their recent performances make that unlikely.Â
For bettors, the most valuable plays in this game are wagering on Golden State to cover the spread (-2.5) and the OVER 212.5 due to propelling offensive performances from the Warriors. Given Orlando’s struggles on the road, betting on Golden State Moneyline (-140) also possesses solid value. Another interesting bet for this game would be props on Stephen Curry’s three-point total as he could get hot from deep in this premium matchup selection.
