This is a quick rematch after Toronto’s dominant 129-99 home win over Orlando on Wednesday. Both teams enter the NBA Cup group stage with key absences, but Toronto holds the clearer edge in current form and home-court advantage.
Current Rosters (key active players)
Magic: Franz Wagner, Desmond Bane, Wendell Carter Jr., Anthony Black, Tristan da Silva, Jase Richardson, Nikola Vučević, Goga Bitadze, Jamal Cain, Jevon Carter, and depth options. Heavy reliance on Wagner and Bane with several starters sidelined.
Raptors: Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl, Ja’Kobe Walter, Jamal Shead, Collin Murray-Boyles, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Jamison Battle, Allen Graves, and supporting rotation. Balanced scoring and defensive versatility despite missing Kawhi Leonard.

Magic:
Paolo Banchero (right high-ankle sprain) – Out (4–6 weeks, expected return ~Nov. 22)
Jalen Suggs (right knee bone bruise/contusion) – Out (reevaluation ~2 weeks, ~Nov. 10)
Jonathan Isaac (left knee management) – Out
