Sacramento Kings vs Orlando Magic Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/26/26

After getting run over by the Charlotte Hornets 134-90 in their last game, the Kings continue their road trip in Orlando on Thursday with a game against the struggling Magic. Once again, the oddsmakers have the Kings as massive underdogs, as that’s the only way they can entice people to bet on them — even when facing a team that’s lost 6 games in a row. If we dig a bit deeper, the Kings haven’t actually been that bad over the past 10 games, winning 5 of them and shooting over 50% 4 times. However, the list of injuries right now includes a total of 10 players, so it’s really hard to say which version of the team we’ll get here.

For Orlando, the month of March has been a disaster, as they’re down to 10th in the East standings due to this 6-game losing streak. The strength of schedule wasn’t kind to them during this stretch, but then again, a team that’s aiming to go into the postseason without competing in the play-in should be doing better. Franz Wagner and Anthony Black remain out, while Jalen Suggs could return following an illness. Is it time they finally win one after scoring 126 and 131 in their last two losses? If the three-ball starts going in early, they should have this game under control, as the Kings are allowing opponents to shoot 37.5% from three this season. Over their last 3 games, that number is up to a staggering 46%.

Orlando thoroughly dominated the first meeting 131-94 a little over a month ago. However, the spirits around the team just aren’t looking good right now. Rumor has it the front office has had it with head coach Jamahl Mosley and that he will be replaced after the season. Can the Magic snap out of it against the tanking Kings? I think they’ll win, but I’m not sure they’ll blow them out. Sacramento is 12-6 SU in the last 18 meetings with the Magic, and they’ve won in 4 of their last 5 visits to Orlando. I’ll give the visitors a shot and back them plus the massive spread.
