Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic have seen significant improvement in their performance, especially on the defensive end, as they returned to the NBA playoffs last season. With the addition and development of Paolo Banchero, the team has shown promise for the upcoming season, currently holding a power ranking of 14. Their strong defense has been a key factor in their success, allowing just 108.4 points per game. Offensively, the Magic have been hitting an average of 42.71% of their field goals and 36.73% of their three-pointers, ranking #22 and #14, respectively. With Banchero leading the team with 33 points per game and Wagner contributing 23 points, Orlando is poised to make significant strides this season. Their recent victory over the Brooklyn Nets, where they held their opponents to 42% shooting, highlights the team's potential for success in the remaining games.
