Can the Magic Defy Expectations and Ignite an Early Surge?

Can the Magic Defy Expectations and Ignite an Early Surge?

The Magic entered the year as a bit of a media darling. The expectation was that after they acquired Desmond Bane, the team would be able to take that next step forward. There have been issues all season with injuries and that has caused lineup combination struggles. Even tonight, they will be without Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs. Both of those guys are normally starters for the team. They also will be without Jonathan Isaac and Anthony Black, two guys that are strong contributors for the club. That leaves a starting lineup of Jevon Carter, Bane, Tristan da Silva, Paolo Banchero, and Wendell Carter. That’s not bad, but we’ve seen this hasn’t been an overly powerful lineup. For the year, the Magic are just 38-33, and they are under .500 on the road with a 16-17 record. After winning seven straight, the Magic have now lost five in a row. It is interesting, in their three home games, they’ve lost by a total of eight points. In the two road games they’ve lost by 12 and 19.
