Magic vs Warriors Game Information

  • Tipoff: 9:00 PM ET
  • Date: Monday, December 22
  • Where: Chase Center, San Francisco, CA
  • TV: NBC Sports Bay Area, FanDuel SN Florida

Orlando Magic Outlook

Orlando averages 117.8 points per game while shooting 47% from the field, with Franz Wagner leading the team in scoring at 22.7 points per game. Paolo Banchero controls the glass at 8.4 rebounds per contest and adds consistent interior scoring, while Jalen Suggs directs the offense and leads the team with 4.8 assists per game. Orlando is most effective when the ball moves side to side, and multiple players are involved in scoring.

Defensively, the Magic allow 115.0 points per game and average 44.9 rebounds, 8.4 steals, and 5.2 blocks per contest. The Magic’s activity in disrupting passing lanes helps generate transition chances, though consistency in half-court defense has lacked on the road. Injuries to note: Jalen Suggs (out, hip), Franz Wagner (out, ankle), Moritz Wagner (out, knee), Tristan da Silva (out, shoulder), with Colin Castleton listed as a game-time decision (hand).
