Orlando is 6-0 ATS in their last six road games and a number of Griz-players are out.

I like the Magic to cover and win outright.

The over/under is easier. One needs to love the Over here. The lack of starters on both teams means this will be a street ball game.

Get ready for track!

The Griz give up a lot of points. I expect another 120+ outburst from Orlando.

Take your sweet time coming back, Evan. As much as you want in fact.

Really hope we can take advantage of the Grizzlies injury woes that they are currently going through. Very winnable game tonight. Continue to play that team ball on both ends.

Yeah I can't believe the Lakers waived Troy Daniels. He was their best shooter.

I think the team just looks way better on both ends of the floor without Evan. We resemble a reallly good team.

Hopefully we can play a few more games without him to see if was just a fluke. The 3 games without him have been the most enjoyable games I've seen from this team in a couple years.

It sure seems like we aren't missing his amazing shooting all that much when he's out of the lineup (albeit small sample size for now sitting at 3-0 with him out of the lineup). Also his inability to guard his man the majority of the time compromises our perimeter defense.

Like I said two threads ago, if Evan just focused on being a catch & shoot guy who can do a little playmaking when ran off the line and not overdribble, I would love him here. I just don't think he has the mentality to be that type of player though.

I love how they describe the joy over recent play as “cherry picking” ... no man, it is REFRESHING! We have seen 6 damn years of Evan. There is no cherry picking going on here.

You act like we dont enjoy Orlando winning. I love the way we played offensively last few games, i love that Gordon started to pass more, i love that we have Dj back, i love that Ross is hitting his shots again. I just think Fournier is not the reason all our players missed wide open shots until now and for the record we started to play well offensively long before Evan got injured also it was not so long ago when Fournier was leading us to victories and everybody were raving about him. human memory is so short.

I remember Harden scoring 54 pts in the last game we played against Houston.

Iwundu's defense might do more for winning than Evan's offense.

The offense has been just as good without Fournier and our defense has been better. We resemble a 50 win team without him.

Fultz V Morant is what I've wanted to see for a while.

Hoping the hot shooting and focused team play continues tonight.

One of the bright moments in a really dark season of Magic basketball. IIRC, Arenas had like 40-something in this game too. We actually needed all 62 of those points to win the game. And I think T-Mac left something like 7 or 8 points at the free throw line. He could have gotten to 70 had he hit the free throws that night.

Obviously we have less talent without Evan. People act like the people who aren't fans of Evan don't believe he is talented. He obviously is. We just don't like the way he plays and don't think it's conducive to good team ball, a fun product or winning.
