We're off to Florida, and more specifically to the north of the state, to witness the very interesting duel between the Orlando Magic and the Golden State Warriors. Better than their opponents this season, the Floridians are hoping to send a message to the other playoff teams in the EAST that they'll be a force to be reckoned with in a few weeks' time. What's more, the Jamahl Mosley-coached squad will be keen to make amends for their 109-107 loss in Sacramento, following a fine run of five consecutive wins, both at home and on the road. Relying on a collective that gets along wonderfully, a tough defense at the Kia Center and a (probably) gala Paolo Banchero, everything seems to be in place for the Magic to win on Wednesday night. 

A worryingly consistent performance. With the end of the regular season fast approaching and the Warriors still under threat from Houston for the final play-in spot, the pressure will inevitably be on Stephen Curry and his partners before the game gets underway. One thing is certain: Steve Kerr's men have given themselves the means to perform in the southeast of the country, thanks to their 21-point win over the Heat! Capable of both the worst and the best when this squad is on a good day, the 2022 NBA champions will be hoping to put on their best show to move a step ahead of the Rockets in the standings.
