Clifford confirmed at shootaround that the Magic will only have 8 available players tonight.
Is there any chance they break 90 tonight?

I have a hunch that Bacon will get randomly hot and keep this close by taking 25 shots.

Had to look at lineup again... for magic to hit 90... all 8 players probably will need a season high in scoring. Magic score 76 Blazers 137

Do we know if Birch is starting yet? Or is it still just projections?

Yikes, not even T Ross. Do we know when the new guys will be available, and which of them are carrying injuries? I thought I read Harris in particular was hurt atm
Also lol at Birch starting over Mo again, Cliff really does hate him

Okeke will break his career high today and take over the full time PF spot for the rest of the season!

All the new guys except Harris should be available for the next one after this.

Harris strained his adductor/thigh on January 31st. Came back after being out 2.5 weeks and re-injured it on February 17th. He hasn't played since. I don't get the impression he's anywhere close to playing.
Hampton, Carter Jr and Porter Jr should all be good to play starting Sunday.
-Porter Jr. had played 9 games in a row about 19 MPG before the trade.
-Carter Jr. had played 18 games in a row about 23 MPG before the trade.
-Hampton got COVID on February 28th and missed about 3 weeks, but got cleared to return and played 13 minutes in the Nuggets last game before the trade.

I'm more excited to watch this game than any other this season. I want to see them have some success, but don't want to win any games.

Cmon, they would blow every team out....as bad as they are by nba standards, they all have or will be given multiple NBA contracts and most of the players in the tournament won’t even make it into the league.

Wow, what a coaching challenge this will be. Its not the worst defensive linuep in the world, but Bacon is by far the best offensive player.....
