Orlando Magic

The Magic are in a bad place right now. They’ve lost eight straight games, 19 off their last 22 games, and they lost their three games this week by an average margin of 19 points. They lost Nikola Vucevic to a broken hand that could sideline him for a projected 6-8 weeks. Vucevic was only averaging 17 and 9 for them, and was the lone bright spot on the roster with Aaron Gordon and Jonathan Isaac sidelined with injuries of their own. They close out the month with two games against the Heat and a game against the Pistons — there is a real possibility they finish the month with just two wins total. Time to start watching Oklahoma games to begin falling in love with Trae Young.
