Prediction Orlando Magic 115 Utah Jazz 110 3 Keys To Watch3-point yo-yoThe Orlando Magic ran the gamut in 3-point defense in the last two outings. Against the Sacramento Kings, they gave up a Kings franchise record 23 3-pointers and lost 126-111 and never really seemed in the game. They were scrambling to chase the 3-point line and scrambling to stay in the game. Their defensive intensity was nowhere near where the team needed it. Then against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Orlando Magic were scrambling like crazy to get stops at the 3-point line and held the Blazers to 6 for 35 shooting including three misses to tie the game on the final possession.
Compare that to the road where the Jazz have splits of 114. 2/116. 6. The Jazz can score regardless of where they play. Their defense does not travel. Orlando, on the other hand, struggles offensively on the road more than anything else. The Magic score just 107. 5 points per 100 possessions on the road. That is the part that needs to change against a poor defense — a poor defense like the Sacramento Kings’ defense is poor — to give them a chance to win. Wendell Carter everywhereAmong the statistical trends to watch for this Orlando Magic team is the clear importance of Wendell Carter.
