ORL vs TOR Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:

Orlando Magic will be looking for the home advantage when they host Toronto Raptors in game-3 in the first round of the 2019 NBA playoffs at Amway Center, in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday morning (IST).

Limited to a sub-par player in the first game, Kyle Lowry returned to his finest self in the very next match as Toronto Raptors beat Orlando Magic 111-82 at Scotiabank Arena. Raptors leveled the series 1-1 and now will be facing Orlando Magic in the next game.

The 33-year-old point-guard scored 22 points and recorded 7 more assists.

While fellow superstar Kawhi Leonard raised his game as well. The former San Antonio Spurs man scored a game-high 37 points, adding 4 assists and 4 rebounds to his efforts.

“He did a great job of bouncing back,” Kawhi Leonard praised Lowry after the match.

“He’s a pro. That’s what pros do, they know it’s just one game and they come in the next game ready to play.”

Leonard was given a standing ovation for his performance when he left the court with less than five minutes remaining. He shot 15 from 22 and missed out from matching his career-best playoff performance by just six points.

For Magic, the only positive to take from the first two games was that they managed to cancel Raptors’ home advantage.

With the series tied at 1-1, Magic should feel confident as they play the next two games in front of their own fans.

In the last game, Aaron Gordon scored the team’s highest 20 points, while Evan Fournier and Terrence Ross scored 10 and 15 points respectively. Better efforts needed from Orlando if they are to go any higher in the playoffs.

Regular Season Record-
Orlando Magic: W-42, L-40
Toronto Raptors: W-58, L-24

Players to watch out for:

Orlando Magic:
Nikola Vucevic – Magic’s best player of the regular season is yet to come good in the postseason. And that’s a positive Magic’s fans can hang on to ahead of their next home game. Because the series is tied despite Vucevic giving any significant contribution to the cause.
The 28-year-old has scored at 20.8 points per game in the 2018-19 regular season.

Aaron Gordon – He has started the postseason on a good note, scoring 20 and 15 in the first two playoff games against Raptors. In game 1, he did a good defensive job on Kawhi Leonard and made things difficult for him.

Toronto Raptors:

Kawhi Leonard – Had one of the best nights in his playoff career as he exploded for 37 points in game-2. Even in the first game, he was above average but his 25 points weren’t talked about much due to Raptors’ loss. But he has set the bar high for himself, and he has the potential to stretch his own standard by some margin. The former Spurs is a candidate for the MVP come the end of the season.

Pascal Siakam – Leonard may be a headline grabber but he can’t do it all by himself. He needs support to take Raptors deep into the playoffs, and in the likes of Pascal Siakam and Kyle Lowry, he has got some good and talented teammates. The 25-year-old is averaging 21.5 in the postseason.

ORL vs TOR Dream11 TEAM NEWS:

ORL vs TOR Dream11 Fantasy Team:

INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:

Toronto Raptors have a solid record against Orlando Magic, winning 20 times in the last 25 games. But Magic have recorded two wins in the last three matches. So Orlando may know a trick or two to get under the skin of Kawhi Leonard and Co.
However, this is the all-important playoffs and we back the talent of Raptors to come good in this match.
