Absolute must win for the magic. I'll be at this game for the first time in a while(got free tickets lol). If Davis only plays 25 min this game there is no excuse why they shouldn't pull this win out. Play your game and play tough defense you win the game.

if im not mistaken they've actually been playing better with AD out. Jrue has been playing really well

Makes this game that much more of a must win.

Jrue is out... hasn't played the last six. They're 1-5 without Jrue. They're 6-12 without Davis. 0-2 without both. That being said AD is kind of a team cancer now, so the team might play a bit looser when he's not around. What a weird situation.

Good catch. I literally do that all the time even though it's been like 6 or 7 years since the Hornets were in New Orleans.

I have no trust in this team even with AD and Jrue out.

It's always possible the Magic could lay an egg, but the Pelicans are terrible on the road and have been terrible overall recently.
I absolutely expect the Magic to win this game.

On watch for Payton's 6th triple double in a row.
The silver lining is, they haven't lead to wins for that team. But I suspect he will be coming at us with fire and something to prove.

If they can’t beat this team without Jrue and AD, they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. I’m expecting an easy win though.

Should be an easy win but knowing the Magic it might not be

Fournier better do something, he needs a vest and there aren't many opportunities left.
