Magic Starting 5: Mo Bamba Trade to Lakers?
1. MO BAMBA TO LAKERS POTENTIAL DEAL
"The Los Angeles Lakers, who kicked off the trade season a week ago by acquiring Rui Hachimura from the Washington Wizards, could be looking for more to catapult the team out of the lottery."
2. MAGIC COME BACK TO BEAT SIXERS IN PHILLY
“Defeating the 76ers 119-109 in front of their home fans, this was not an easy win by any means for Orlando. After trailing by 17-4 in the opening quarter and by as many as 21 in the first half, the Magic was forced to claw its way back - cutting the deficit to 10 entering the half.
"A big third quarter from Orlando proved to be the momentum shifter, outscoring Philadelphia 40-28 including a big 16 points from No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero."
3. CROWDED FRONTCOURT
"Last week started off strong with wins against the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers, but that balanced itself out with a pair of losses against the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls.
"For its 2-2 efforts, the Magic remains at No. 26 in this week's power rankings from Sports Illustrated."
