The Golden State Warriors will continue their road trip against the Orlando Magic at 7 p.m. EST on Tuesday. The Warriors have caught fire in recent play, marching to three straight wins behind absolutely absurd numbers from superstar guard Stephen Curry. In that span, Curry averaged 34.7 points and 5.5 assists, stats that encapsulate a couple of enormously clutch moments that were key to Golden State's victories. The Magic have been on a decent run of their own lately, only having a three-game win streak shattered in overtime by the Houston Rockets. However, Orlando will be without star forward Paolo Banchero, making things exponentially more difficult on Tuesday.
While Curry is certainly the focal point of this team, the Warriors have quietly established both an excellent lineup and depth around him. Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green highlight a solid support system, and players like Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski, and Al Horford have proven themselves to be valuable bench pieces. That well-rounded quality makes Golden State a tough out for any team in the NBA, including a hobbled Magic team.
Despite entering the season with sky-high expectations, Orlando has already had its ups and downs. The persistent problem has been the lack of 3-point shooting, an ailment that has haunted the Magic since last season. Shooting guard Desmond Bane has not provided the shooting boost many expected of him, leaving forwards Franz Wagner and Banchero to continue to handle the offensive load. The Magic remain a tough defensive matchup for anyone, something they will have to lean on against the loaded Warriors.

Warriors vs Magic Prediction and Pick
Peter Tran of PickDawgz writes, "The Warriors have ruled out Jonathan Kuminga but have listed Buddy Hield as probable, while the Magic have ruled out Paolo Banchero and Moritz Wagner with Jalen Suggs listed as questionable. These teams have yet to meet this season, but the Warriors have won the last four meetings, with each game being decided by eight points or less. The Magic are more than capable of getting the upset at home as they almost beat the red-hot Rockets in their last outing, but the Warriors were good enough to win despite a poor game from Curry, and I am expecting a bounce-back performance from him. This should be close, but I will stick with the Warriors at the short line in this spot."
