Game Preview
The scheduled date for the Orlando Magic vs Atlanta Hawks game is January 17th. The Magic emerged victorious in their most recent encounter, marking the third time they have faced each other this season.
The Orlando Magic, despite a promising beginning, are currently experiencing a decline in the standings, now occupying the 8th position in the Eastern Conference with a 22-18 record. Following a 3 game losing streak, they managed to bounce back with a victory over the New York Knicks.
Paolo Banchero‘s scoring has been limited to under 27 points in the previous 4 games. Considering the presence of Clint Capela, a formidable rim protector who consistently challenges shots in the paint, it is unlikely that Paolo will find it easy to score.
In the meantime, the Atlanta Hawks have managed to secure a victory against the San Antonio Spurs, preventing a potential 3 game losing streak. With a current record of 16-23, they currently hold the 11th position in the NBA Eastern Conference.
Trae Young just had a remarkable game, scoring an impressive 36 points against the Spurs. It seems that this trend will continue to move up, especially with Young being a momentum based player.
Ultimately, we expect a high energy game with most chances coming at the rim. Unfortunately for Orlando, Atlanta’s shooting from deep will be extremely hard for them to defend. Three point shooting will be the catalyst and main reason behind an Atlanta win this time around.
Despite boasting a superior record this NBA season, the Orlando Magic find themselves as the underdog in this highly anticipated clash against the Atlanta Hawks. We believe the result will match the analysts expectations, as it is hard to see a world where Orlando without Franz Wagner has enough firepower against the Hawks.
