Looking for AG to get back to normal. Although he wasn't really tested Mo had a fairly active game so hopefully that continues. As a team we have to better on the glass and bring our A game, not our C- game.

And Isaac. Here's hoping for more than 20 points from the two, which is not a tall order.

Also: it would be great if Aminu and Ross could get a higher FG% this game.

But in the end I predict this as a TO contest. The team with fewer wins. (Good news in that is that Atlanta does not project as a good rebounding team so Orlando can focus on the slow-set approach to this game, coupled to offence off-of defense.

Orlando on the road is actually the favourite at -2 .

Trae vs our PGs round 3?

Looking for Issac to check in on the real estate he has in Collings head. In general though if we can defend well and more importantly control the boards we win this game. Although Trae young has the potential to cook.

I’m betting big on the over/under for John Collins in points and rebounds being under 28.5

Our length generally bothers Atlanta, but Young still has the ability to torch DJ if we let him. This is a good in division test for us tonight.

Go Magic! It’s early, but huge divisional game with another young, talented team.

Young is going to score. Everyone knows that. I don’t care. Just don’t lose to the other guys and we have our second win.

Collins is due for a big game against us.

We can't underestimate ATL. They can win games against any team.

We match up with Atlanta very well. Our length on the perimeter and in the front court is tailor-made against a team like the Hawks. I still think Trae is a sieve on the defensive end so I need DJ/Markelle to attack him at every single opportunity. Limit his 3 point looks and force him into that floater and stay in between him and the rim when he does try to attack (have to give up something). Yeah I'm sure Collins would be due for a good game against us but that is only if the refs take out Isaac again. If that does not happen, John Collins is gonna have a very long night. Need to limit our live ball turnovers and win the rebounding battle on the glass especially defensively. I would really like to see us get back to our crisp ball movement and spacing in this game tonight.

I’m so excited to watch this game on tv and not my laptop! I will be watching with 6 hawks fans so I could use a win!!

Excited for this one. Facing some more serious competition after the Cleveland game. Let’s see how it goes.

Excited to watch my first full game of the season. This is not gimme by any means. The clash of their offense vs our defense should be fun to watch. I particularly hope to see AG and JI play well. But I'll take a win any way we can get it.

Atlanta is going to be good this season and could even make The Playoffs.

This is going o be a fight tonight and even though I like Mo Bamba and now The Magic now have Markelle Fultz, a lot of us wanted Trae Young last year and it's hard to see that he is exactly how good I thought he would be.

It is kind of crazy that Vuc has a legit shot at being our longest-tenured player. If he stays here say 3 more years he's going to hold quite a bit of our all-time career leader records as well.

Let's Go Magic!
