Collab with w/ @JoeDellera The Magic are decimated by injuries right now without Franz Wagner, Isaac, Harris, Ingles, and Fultz. This has inflated Paolo’s line to a whopping 27.5 points, a number he has only hit in 8/34 games this season and in the one game he played without Franz last year he scored 25 against OKC and then he did score 43 against Sacramento when Franz went out early but he shot way above expectation in a soft matchup. Denver can focus on Paolo as the primary offensive option for the Magic and they have plenty of options to throw at him between Gordon, MPJ, and even Jokic. Denver has been better at home overall, they are 14-3 with a +11.2 Net Rating and the 10th Best Defensive Rating. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is a blowout where he sees limited minutes in a getaway game for the Magic before heading home after a 4 game Western Conference Road Trip.

Two strong defenses and two slow-tempo teams. Orlando has multiple injuries, too, and Nuggets playing for second time in two nights.
