NBA Orlando Spiele: Magic Host Pelicans, Seek Redemption after Loss
Magic Look to Rebound against Pelicans
The Orlando Magic will host the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night at the Amway Center, looking to rebound from their disappointing loss to the Miami Heat on Monday.
The Magic have been one of the most surprising teams in the NBA this season, currently sitting at 20-23 and in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race. However, they have struggled lately, losing three of their last four games.
The Pelicans, meanwhile, have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA this season. Currently at 23-20 and in the ninth spot in the Western Conference, they are fighting to stay in the playoff race.
Pelicans Look to Continue Momentum
The Pelicans have won two of their last three games, including a surprising victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night.
They will be looking to continue their momentum against the Magic, who they have lost to in two of their three meetings this season.
The Pelicans will be led by Zion Williamson, who is averaging 26.8 points and 6.9 rebounds per game this season.
Magic Look to Contain Williamson
The Magic will need to find a way to contain Williamson if they want to win on Wednesday night.
The Pelicans star is one of the most dynamic players in the NBA, and he can score in a variety of ways.
The Magic will likely use a combination of players to guard Williamson, including Wendell Carter Jr., Paolo Banchero, and Franz Wagner.
Prediction
The Magic and Pelicans are two evenly matched teams, and this game could go either way.
However, the Magic will have the home-court advantage and will be looking to rebound from their loss to the Heat.
I predict the Magic will win a close game, 110-105.
