Preview | Golden State Warriors
After many predicted them to not be in a playoff spot, the Warriors have done a great job prove those critics wrong. They are currently seventh and have won four of their last five games. Stephen Curry’s MVP-worthy campaign has been the main reason for their 16-13 record.

Draymond Green (ankle) joined the injury list after their last game, but is expected to return for the game tonight. James Wiseman and Kevon Looney could also return in the coming days and strengthen their rotation again.

Preview | Orlando Magic
The Magic finally had more than eight players available to play in their last game. A lack of players has affected their form throughout the season, and their record is just 11-8 currently, and they sit 12th in the Eastern Conference.

They have been hit with the worst injury-crisis in the NBA and already have four crucial players out for the season. Cole Anthony, Aaron Gordon, Markelle Fultz, and Jonathan Isaac are all out, while Evan Fournier and James Ennis III are listed as questionable for tonight’s game.

Predictions | Warriors vs Magic
The Magic may have managed a win in their last game, but it is unlikely they continue a winning run tonight. Curry has been excellent of late, and he could be too hot to handle.
It will be the Warriors’ 17th win of the season and will help them ascend further in the Western Conference standings. They will face the Hornets next in the second game of their Eastern Conference road trip.
