The Magic continue to impress with their tenacity and persistence despite a difficult roster situation. The team holds fourth place in the Eastern Conference, but a large number of injuries to key players makes one doubt the stability of future results.

However, performances at home are always their strong point. The upcoming game against New York will be a real test. The opponent is in excellent shape, and the "magicians" will have to rely on the coherence of the players who remained in the lineup.
