NBA: Atlanta Hawks at Orlando Magic
NBA: Atlanta Hawks at Orlando Magic

Orlando Magic

Record: 20-21

After a fast start to the year, the Orlando Magic have begun to regress to the mean in a bit. Though, the Magic are on pace to win 40 games for the first time since Dwight Howard was still on this team. That’s called taking the next step, folks.

In addition, the simple fact that Scott Skiles hasn’t completely messed things up this season for the young Magic is a success alone.

Orlando probably isn’t going to make the playoffs this season, but they’ve had a successful first half of the year. Next year is the one to watch with this young squad. Playoffs? Yes.

Grade: B-

Next: Philadelphia 76ers
