Orlando Magic need Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner to be their stars

The Orlando Magic fell to the LA Clippers in a disappointing loss where the team's defense finally cracked. A big part of that was Paul George breaking through and taking over in the third quarter to push the Clippers ahead. It was the kind of scoring, shotmaking and confidence the Magic's stars are lacking. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner need to be stars for the Magic and they just are not yet.</p>Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!</p>PrizePicks</p>Go to PrizePicks.com/lockedonnba and use code lockedonnba for a first deposit match up to $100!</p>Gametime</p>Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNBA for $20 off your first purchase.</p>FanDuel</p>Score early this NFL season with FanDuel, America’s Number One Sportsbook!

Orlando Magic need to establish a pecking order for late-game situations

The Orlando Magic suffered their first loss of the season, falling to the Los Angeles Lakers 106-103. It was their first late-game situation too and the team looked disorganized as they struggled to the finish line, losing on a pair of tough shots on the final two possessions.</p>It begs the question: What is the Magic's pecking order? Who is the team's closer? The Magic love to say they play by committee, but that can only go so far. Orlando needs to know their roles late to win these kinds of games. And there will be plenty more of them.</p>Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!</p>PrizePicks</p>Go to PrizePicks.com/lockedonnba and use code lockedonnba for a first deposit match up to $100!</p>Gametime</p>Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNBA for $20 off your first purchase.</p>FanDuel</p>Score early this NFL season with FanDuel, America’s Number One Sportsbook!

Orlando Magic forming defensive identity | Details are still a work in progress

The Orlando Magic talked about two things a lot during their preseason and training camp. They believed they would be a top-10 defense and they focused on maturing and playing with poise. Through two games, their defense is certainly living up to that billing as they form their identity. The details though?

Paolo Banchero didn't score Wednesday, but he was still a star | Orlando Magic must fix road woes

Paolo Banchero had a fairly quiet scoring night for the Orlando Magic in their win Wednesday, taking a career-low-tying six field goal attempts on his way to 12 points. Still, Banchero's game was fairly loud as he worked to soak up attention and make the right play and pass to get his teammates shots. His five assists were a sign of just how impactful he still was without heavy scoring numbers.</p>The Orlando Magic leave the friendly confines of the Amway Center for a four-game road trip. The Magic will have to fix their road woes from last year to keep their momentum up.</p>Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!</p>Dave</p>Dave is the banking app that’s leveling the financial playing field.
