ESPN – Magic jump from 18 to 16 – Orlando
After starting 4-0 for the first time in franchise history. The Magic fell back to earth, dropping two straight to the Sixers and Thunder. After a strong start to the season. Markelle Fultz has cooled off, too. He is shooting just 13-for-43 over his past three games. The Magic have a tough stretch coming up. With seven of their next 10 on the road.
Sports Illustrated – Magic jump from 17 to 14 – Orlando
Cole Anthony has strived as a shooter early in his NBA career. He has produced a positive influence out of the gate outside of his unstable percentages. The North Carolina product is a plus defender. The one who rebounds well for a point guard. He makes a well-developed feel as a half-court playmaker. Anthony’s skills mirror Markelle Fultz to a range. While both players are projects. They represent a pair of valuable pieces as we head into 2021.
CBS Sports – Magic fall from 10 to 15 – Orlando
After their 3-0 start, the Magic were blown out by the 76ers. The split with the Thunder this week. They proceed to play fast, but the offense was much more of a struggle. Outside of the ever-dependable Nikola Vucevic. A couple of hot games from Terrence Ross. The defense is always there for a Steve Clifford team. The offense will need some punch. If they’re going to make any meaningful noise.

The Magic were the last unbeaten team in the league. Any good feelings about that realization have probably been lost. A loss to the Sixers in which they pursued by 38. The loss to the Thunder. In which they bought 35 times over the next and fourth parts. The Philly play was riddled by un-Magic-like opposing errors. Dwayne Bacon was at the center of a few of them. The Magic’s starting lineup has allowed 125 points per 100 properties. The worst mark between the 16 lists that have performed at least 50 minutes.
