Can the Magic win 10 of their last 14 to finish with a 50 win season?

I'm rooting HARD for this and I think it's possible.

Absolutely need to take care of Charlotte as right after we run the gauntlet against the Pelicans, Kings, Warriors, and Clippers.

You mean they run the gauntlet here.....

In all seriousness yeah. It's a tough series of games incoming.

Had hoped for 45 wins before the season started. Seeing 50 in reach is amazing.
Proud of the group, let’s take care of business with this home stretch.

It's a pretty tough schedule to end the year, really depends on if Milwaukee will be going for wins the last 3 games, and if Embiid is back and healthy if they can get to 50.

I see at least 4 losses in that schedule, so I'm going to say 48 wins.

Remaining schedules

Philly plays 10 winning teams out of 15 games remaining
Miami plays 9 winning teams out of 15 games remaining
Indiana =plays 8 winning teams out of 14 games remaining
Magic plays 8 winning teams out of 14 games remaining

Pretty decent chance we skip the play-in!

It's like an above 90% probability that we skip the play-in.

Sadly.... as a Magic fan, never say never. When it rains, it pours.

Remember that recent in season tournament thingy? Everything had to go wrong for us to miss it and to NO MAGIC FANS SURPRISE, everything did go wrong lol

We now have to pickup a game from my previous "L". I think this primarily hinges on MIL clincing the 2nd division spot and us still in the fight for highest possible homecourt advantage. I see us trying until 4/14.

It will remain possible gentlemen. Until it isn't. I BELIEVE.

I think we go 6-5 in our last 11 games. I could see us losing to Houston or Chicago and maybe winning one game against the Bucks, but that will depend if the Bucks are secure in the standings and decide to rest players.

This is what the computers think, too. Should be good enough for the 5th seed.

The four votes for 41 wins...

What will the Magic's regular season record be?
