125. . . Previous: . Atlanta Hawks. 1. team

22. team. 147. . . Previous: . Brooklyn Nets

. Previous: . Orlando Magic. 23. team. 38. With Orlando’s rebuild plan somewhat stuck in limbo, the Magic are desperately looking for someone to take the lead. Victor Oladipo might be the man. The second-year guard topped 30 points in back-to-back games last week and is averaging 21.5 this month.

. Previous: . Indiana Pacers. 24. team. 100.

The Magic’s rebuild plan faced some questions last week. Zach Lowe of Grantland penned an article asking where the Magic’s rebuild was at and the second West Coast trip left the Magic in a deep crater.

The up-and-down nature of the Magic the last two weeks really shows how inconsistent this team has been. We can blame the youth for sure. Hopefully we see more good than bad. If this team keeps playing the way it is playing, then maybe this will be true and make us feel good about the rest of the season.
