The Orlando Magic's performance this season has been middling, currently holding the sixth position in the Eastern Conference with a record of seventeen wins and thirteen losses after thirty games. Their home form is notably strong, winning ten of their fourteen home games, resulting in a home win rate exceeding seventy percent and a respectable average point differential. However, the Magic's recent form has been inconsistent, managing only five wins in their last ten games. Their defensive performance has been particularly weak, conceding over 115 points in five of their last six games, including some significant defeats. Despite the Orlando Magic's dominant historical record against the Charlotte Hornets, winning nine of their last ten encounters, putting them in a psychologically advantageous position, the team is potentially facing a physical challenge after a series of demanding away games, which could have impacted their physical reserves.
