Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
Giddey gets crossmatched on Banchero in transition and Banchero goes right through him for a foul. One issue with playing fast and having a roster that’s 70 percent guards is you leave yourself vulnerable to that – 8:50 PM

As expected, the #Magic will start Jalen Suggs, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. against the Bulls tonight. – 7:04 PM
