Aron Baynes (left calf strain) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Orlando.
This will be Baynes second straight game on the sidelines due to the calf issue, and it's not a great sign that he's getting ruled out a full 24 hours in advance of tip-off. Cheick Diallo (illness) is expected to be back in action tomorrow night, and he could be someone to consider streaming with Baynes unavailable, while Frank Kaminsky will likely get another start. For now, we'll consider Baynes questionable for Thursday's game in New Orleans.

Quick turnaround for the Magic so hopefully we'll be ready. I have been liking how Phoenix has been playing out West this season. Definitely going to need our perimeter defense to be on point tonight against their back court. Also need to make sure we take care of the defensive glass and not turn the ball over against this team. Should be a good one tonight with hopefully our Magic as the victor.

Baynes being out will help a ton in the middle. This will be a tough game to win on a back to back but it is a winnable game once again. They have to move the ball and hit open shoots. The defense has to be there and they can not allow another 120 points tonight and think they are gonna outscore the suns it wint happen tonight. This game has to be won on the defensive end. Go magic

you're not ducler

Exactly, not to mention they've been a decent defensive team, although Im not sure how Baynes being out impacts that.

So who is backup center if Bamba doesn't play? Amile? Isaac?

Probably has to be Amile.

With no Aminu, it makes it more difficult to shift Isaac to the 5 for lengthy stretches IMO.

Are we expecting a rained-out game? I missed Orlando's weather forecast for this one.

Coach Clifford hinted that Bamba no longer has restrictions in BtBs. Any follow up on that?

Also: any word on Carter-Williams' injury?

Good thing they play indoors!

I need a Fournier career high here. 40+ please.

You guys must be two hours behind us because the game starts at 7pm.

No but it's very cold, like in the 60's.
