Vegas likes Orlando here (-1.5), but the computers do not (45% win rate).

Anyhow, sounds like a coin-toss game is expected.

Early reports are that Barrett is out. He was out last game which they won with Quickley playing good game.

C'mon AB...shake it off and grab your rightful place among our core contributors!! 28 minutes, 12 pts, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 TO...old -time hockey!! (I mean PG play)

There is nearly zero playmaking in our starting lineup. Suggs is capable of 5 assists & 5 turnovers. Goga is showing some...but this is really the time to make that addition that we need long-term anyway.

That's too bad. Barrett is one of our better players when we play.

I need Quickley and Poeltl to go for career nights for fantasy purposes but still manage to lose the game convincingly.

This is a statement game for eyriq game threads.

Another loss here would put it at 0-2. A devastating confidence-burner.

We need a win here!!!!

This is another game that scares me on the road this depleted. I could easily see them dropping this game if the offense continues to be in the dumpster. This is a team they need to go out and beat and in just not sure what to expect... Well see

Pressure is really mounting for eyriq.

Will his boy (AB) step up and save him or is he gonna sit back on the bench?

I hope Caleb play and have a great game. He hasn’t had the opportunity to play in front of his family, I hope they are there and he balls out in front of them. :)

I wonder if the Magic are trying to showcase Cade and Cole by holding out Black and Harris? If Harris and Black were playing, Cole and Caleb wouldn't get minutes.

I’m here for it. He has to step up and this feels like a perfect game for it.
