    The match up we've been waiting for, Jabari vs Banchero for the heavyweight championship.

    Good luck Rockets! Hope FVV is healthy and has a good game. Green is due for redemption

    I think the matchup will be Tari vs. Banchero.

    Hopefully Paolo chucks them right out of the game

    This should be winnable without Amen but I'm expecting it to be a dogfight.

    The Magic have been low key the most disappointing team in the league. They've had Wagner and Banchero back for a while and have still been losing.

    One of the few teams in the league with worse shooting than us.

    I do not see a problem, this year and next year it would be great seasons to tank.

    Great talents.

    Basically, Wagner and Banchero have not been good shooters. They usually play without a shooting center. Suggs three-point shooting has reverted back to previous seasons. I haven't watched the Magic much this year, but the secret to beating the Magic still seems to be try to limit the fouls on Banchero and try to coax him into shooting mid-range. Tari's fouling worries me a little.

    Tari will sneak in and hit him with a steel chair across his back.

    Wagner and Suggs are also both out for the season.

    Mo Wagner is out for the season. The good brother Franz Wagner is healthy.

    Orlando lacks so much scoring and shooting they’re basically unwatchable…this is a team that should get dealt with with minimal issue if the Rockets are serious

    No with our bench limited they’ll probably go back
    Tomorrow traditional starting lineup with Tari and Cam off the bench first

    Yep, I don't watch the Magic much this season. Even when I did, everyone would say how great Paolo was currently when it always looked more upside than present value to me.

    Orlando has had massive injury issues.

    They are in a similar position as the Rockets from a foundational standpoint. I think they have potentially more upside with Banchero than anyone on the Rockets - but we will have to wait and see.

    The Magic really need better outside shooters .... but they have some really nice players on that roster.
