[CZ Eddie]

Back to our original starting lineup - or at least the one most people thought it would be, I think.

Fultz redemption tour 4.0 begins tonight

[RookieStar]

Fultz redemption tour 4.0 behind tonight

I would have said Fultz Showcase Tour but sure....

[SOUL]

Memphis is pesky. Not an easy win.

[Knightro]

Memphis is pesky. Not an easy win.

No such thing as an easy road win in the league, but if the Magic do want to actually compete for the 6th seed, they gotta win games like this one.

[GameOver25]

I could see us easily losing this one especially if we come out lackadaisical and unforced turnovers early.

[3ddman23]

They just bet miami in Miami so I think they are playing hard. This has the classic upset magic lose all over it. Thinking we have rest and we'll come out strong and just come out completely flat and it's a grind all game.

Turnovers, opponent 3 pt shooting and control the glass. If they do that I think the magic win.

This honestly is a must win game with the next 2 most likely being L.

[Black and Blue]

This is a good “how far have we fallen” test. Should be an easy win with our entire original starting lineup in there.

[thelead]

The part-time squad is back!

Man, they would hate to hear that nickname…

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Memphis is the Western Conference version of us. Health is such a huge factor and yet they still play hard.

[Optimus_Steel]

This team has had several days to stew on that embarrassing performance vs Cle. Hope they respond.

[best of luck]

Appreciating that the game starts at 8am here in Asia for me here in Asia so I didn’t have to wake to early for the start.
Dog walked, coffee finished and will be chilling with the kids watching the game.
Hoping it’s a good showing after the Cleveland game.

[Bensational]

We’ve had rest and we’re coming off an absolute beat down. I think we come out swinging and run away with this one.

[ChosenSavior]

Memphis is pesky. Not an easy win.

Agreed. Want the Magic to start showing some urgency and do a better job valuing the basketball.

Memphis is scrappy.

[ChosenSavior]

We have not done well this season on multiple day rest so I'm hoping that changes starting tonight.

[ChosenSavior]

Feels like forever since we last played, let's get this W!

[basketballRob]

Steele is traveling again.
