Pre-match view
Orlando holds the stronger team-level evidence at home and a long recent grip on this matchup, but the period leans are mixed and Miami's preseason scoring is the main counterweight; no player forecasts are supported, so rotation and availability uncertainty stays unmeasured.
Orlando's recent hold on Miami and the Kia Center setting support the Magic lean, while Anthony Black's practice progression and Tristan da Silva's perimeter volume point to Magic rotation options; Miami's late roster churn adds fringe-depth uncertainty for a preseason finale.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
Experimental forecasts: accuracy has not yet been validated against historical results.
