In this story:


1. MAGIC ATTEMPT COMEBACK DOWN 23, BUT LOSE VS. GRIZZLIES

"The loss is disappointing for Orlando, as its magic number goes from four to three. The defeat means the margin of error continues to get that much thinner as the season winds down. However, the Magic proved tonight that the team won't go down without a fight in the final six games of the season."

2. JALEN SUGGS LOOKING TO KEEP THINGS ROLLING

"I want to be out there with my guys and help do what I can to get us wins," Suggs said. "I’m just going to continue to try and get in where I fit in. Help us out defensively and offensively. Stay in that flow, take what the game gives me, and I just have to keep things rolling.”

3. MAGIC POWER RANKINGS

"The Magic can move up in the Eastern Conference standings, sitting just 0.5-game behind the Indiana Pacers for 12th and one game back of the Washington Wizards for 11th."

4. WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S GAMES

5. NEXT MAGIC GAME

The Magic will head back out on the road tonight against Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies at 8:00 p.m. You can watch in-market on Bally Sports Florida or out-of-market on NBA League Pass.
