Paolo Banchero The Main Magic Act
The Magic just beat the Pacers at home, 119-115. The main offensive statistics were quite even, but Orlando won by 8 at the free-throw line. Paolo Banchero was the standout in this game, achieving a double-double with 50 points and 13 rebounds. There wasn’t much depth scoring for the Magic, but Wendell Carter Jr. also recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Even though Banchero was the star of the Magic’s win, the defense showed its skills throughout the game, coming up big in the 4th quarter by allowing only 17 points. The Magic need to tighten up on free throws and be more efficient from 3-point range. As long as their field goal percentage remains high, the Magic will be able to keep pace with the Bulls’ offense.
Bulls Behind The Arc Success
The Bulls just beat the Grizzlies on the road, 126-123. The Chicago offense took a while to get going, and they found themselves down by 14 at halftime. However, the Bulls came out firing in the 3rd quarter and played their best basketball on both ends of the court in the 4th. There weren’t many free throws in this game, and the key difference was the Bulls winning 25-14 in 3-pointers made.
Chicago has had solid depth scoring, and their 3-point efficiency is very high. In recent news, one of the Bulls’ bench players, Lonzo Ball, will be out for 10 days due to a wrist injury sustained in the Grizzlies game. This will impact their depth scoring, but the starters should still be fine. Chicago will need to improve their production in the paint, especially if their 3-point shooting goes cold for a bit.
Magic vs Bulls Prediction
This game should easily hit the over. Both of these teams have rarely had an off shooting night. The Magic may lack depth scoring, but their best players do most of the scoring anyway and can pile up the free throws. The Bulls have been scoring with ease thanks to a fast-paced offense and high 3-point production.
