Have a feeling that Orlando will struggle with Minnesota's guards all night. Their frontcourt is pretty awful without Towns so I do expect AG and Vuc to feast if their heads are in the game. Will Evan make a difference offensively? We shall see.

Last time we played in Minnesota Fultz gave them hell. Good times.

Damn... Evan is back and Minnesota sucks... this will likely be a win. Hopefully Minny will play us tough

It’s kind of embarrassing how much I dislike watching Evan Fournier play basketball.

Evan being back reduces the amount of time Bacon plays. Bad sign from a tanking perspective.

Vuc will drop an easy 30+ on these guys if they don't bring the double team.

Vuc never challenges head on at the rim. It's annoying to just see him stand there.

Cole Anthony just plays 5x harder than everyone else. It is a bit crazy.

All Minnesota has to do is take it to the hole every possession.

I thought that was a good 10 minute stretch for Cole.

I really dislike watching Evan play, but having a second creator out there (and I mean a real one, not Gordon) really takes pressure off him from a playmaking standpoint and can help him pick his spots better.
