Matchup Breakdown
Golden State Warriors Outlook
Stephen Curry remains dominant, scoring 46 and 49 in consecutive games last week. Jimmy Butler returns to Florida, where he has historically excelled, and Moses Moody added 32 in the win over New Orleans. Golden State ranks top-10 in scoring and has regained momentum after a slow start. Their depth and veteran presence make them dangerous on the road.
Orlando Magic Outlook
Desmond Bane has averaged 22.3 points over his last four games, hitting multiple threes in three straight. Orlando has won three of its last four but fell in OT to Houston. Paolo Banchero (groin) remains out, leaving Bane and Franz Wagner to carry the offense. The Magic rank middle-of-the-pack in scoring but rely on defensive intensity and balanced contributions to compete.
Key Matchup / Path to Victory
The Warriors must continue leveraging Curry’s shooting and Butler’s playmaking while Moody provides secondary scoring. The Magic need Bane to sustain his hot streak and Wagner to step up in Banchero’s absence. Late-game execution and perimeter defense will decide whether Orlando can upset Golden State.
