Orlando Magic

The Orlando Magic are experiencing a drastic dip in form. In January alone they lost 11 games out of the 15 games played. The Orlando side is gradually improving with the return of their key players, and they have recorded 6-4 in their last 10 games. 

Despite this inconsistent performance, the Magic is still in contention for the play-in tournament. A team that was once ranked 4th in the Eastern Conference has dropped down to 8th in the table. Currently, they are ranked 2nd in the Southeast Division and 8th in the Eastern Conference with a 35-38 record. A major reason behind the dip in form was the injuries faced by the Orlando Magic.

Paolo Banchero, who had an all-star level season at the beginning of the season, played just 38 of the 72 games. Another star for the team, Franz Wagner has played 52 games so far. Paolo Banchero is the leading scorer of the team, averaging 25.7 points per game, while Franz Wagner averages 24.2 points per game.
