ESPN Depth Chart has our starters as AB/Suggs/KCP/TDS/Goga and bench as Cory/TQ/Harris/JI/WCJ

I could see this happening.

Detroit has played really well recently, one I'd feel good with if we had Franz or Paolo but this is 50/50 at best

Eyriq next man up on the game threads. Appreciated.

Also, Knightro deserves a HOF vest for his streak of game threads for the past few years!

I’m currently in the hospital, ringing in the new year after apparently having a (mild) heart attack yesterday. BP under control, EKG and echocardiogram are solid, so now I’m getting transferred to another hospital for a heart cath to figure out wtf happened. Maybe it’s a torn oblique. Needless to say, I’ll be cheering from the figurative bench with the rest of the DNP-squad. Get ‘em boys!

Dude, sorry to hear.

Glad to know things are settled and you're stabilized.

Here's to getting answers sooner rather than later.

That’s full on mate! All the best for recovery. Tuning in to watch a Magic game is a bold choice - are you chasing a full blown heart attack now?

Malik Beasley is shooting 42% from 3 on 9.3 attempts per game. We need Black's perimeter defense.

With AB and Queen out this pretty much guarantees that Cole and Caleb are in the rotation.

Jalen Suggs is Probable for Wednesday’s game at Detroit. Anthony Black (low back contusion) is Questionable.
