Thank the lord cj miles isnt playing. This is another winnable game. Now I dont think it wont be easy at all. They are a high scoring team and we struggle to score and when we struggle to score our defense and intensity tends to lack. I cant really make a prediction on this one cause it could be a blowout or it could be a close game I'm not sure what to expect. Go magic

[basketballRob]

Love to see MCW replace Augustine.

We're 16-6 in games MCW plays during the regular season the last two years.

[Blue_and_Whte]

I'm feeling a 10 point loss here.

[OrlandO]

fultz hometown game vs worst defense in the league... he might try to drive 20+ times tonight

[j-ragg]

We won by 4 at home w/ everyone healthy last month. My brain says it'll probably be a loss. My heart doesn't really care just wants Fultz and Isaac to play well.

[zaymon]

We need good game from DJ and AG. If they struggle we will need Bamba shooting like Bertans, Fultz hitting two early threes, Iwundu hitting threes..... well we will need a lot of 3s.

[pepe1991]

Thomas Bryant won't play

[Ducklett]

AG needs to get off his 2K Kobe Mentality crap and start playing basketball the right way again.

[ezzzp]

The 5 past games:



Good to see Bamba's offense is finally starting to turn around.

Ross is also slowly starting to get some traction.

JI's increased volume and role has lowered his overall efficiency pretty significantly, but at least his 3PT shot has remained solid.

Chief getting injured hurts Magic size and defense, but offensively it might actually help out as he's been pretty bad.

DJ is really struggling. I doubt Josh Magette plays tonight but it is curious that he will dress tonight:

Just WIN

[ORLMagicGirl15]

If Josh Magette and BJ Johnson can actually shoot, we might as well give them a try? We’re going to need shooters to get through this game.

[Knightro]

Over/Under on Bertans 3PT attempts?

I'll say 9.5.

[Howard Mass]

Let's Go Magic!

[swarlesbarkley]

That Fultz fadeaway j! And then lol Evan trying to pass.

[Knightro]

This Washington team is a DISASTER defensively. The only time they get a stop is when the Magic miss an open shot.

[zuppafly]

That turnaround from Rashard Isaac was a beauty.

[SOUL]

AG way more active and playing smarter.

[PrimeThyme]

Really haven't loved our shot selection so far.
