The Pelicans host the Magic at the Smoothie King Center. New Orleans is enjoying a solid season with a record of 45 wins to 30 losses, currently holding 6th place in the West. However, the team faces a major obstacle with the recent injury to Brandon Ingram. The injury is a cause for concern and raises doubts about the Pelicans' ability to maintain their momentum. Despite this setback, New Orleans can still be proud of their successful season so far and will need to find solutions to make up for Ingram's absence and continue to perform at a high level.

Thanks to Paolo Banchero, the Magic are enjoying an exceptional season, with a record of 44 wins and 31 losses, putting them in the Top 6 of the Eastern Conference. The contribution of the young American talent has been crucial for the team, who can now aspire to a playoff place, a prospect that seemed unlikely at the start of the season. The Magic's rise to prominence, driven by Banchero, demonstrates the team's ability to surpass itself and deliver great performances, reinforcing the team's ambitions for the rest of the season.
