Raptors’ 3-1 Start Puts Orlando’s 119.5-Per-Game Defense on Trial

Toronto brings a 3-1 record, a No. 7 power-index ranking and a 2-0 home mark into Friday, while Orlando arrives 1-3 and ranked No. 24. The Raptors average 117.5 points and allow 102.5 per game; the Magic average 107 and give up 119.5. With Banchero and Suggs out for Orlando and Kawhi Leonard unavailable for Toronto, Franz Wagner’s 78 points—and 19 turnovers—in four games put extra weight on his creation. Toronto’s RJ Barrett has scored 88 points and Immanuel Quickley has added 70 points and 22 assists; whether Orlando can limit their impact and tighten its defense will decide if it can keep pace.
