QUOTABLE

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs: "We played Detroit already. They have our number this year, so we want to come out and get a win for that. Obviously the [NBA] Cup is a bonus. We're still going to have to play another game to get to Vegas anyway. Homecourt advantage is great, but they're rolling. They're No. 1 in our conference right now so, I think above the Cup, we want to go play a good basketball game and continue to prove to ourselves that we are who we say we are."
