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.

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.

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.
