Orlando Magic Weekly Preview: January 4-11
By Joe Buckley
What makes a good week?
Three of the games this week hold extreme importance, as the Eastern teams swarm over each other looking to gain a step on the ladder. This is truly a make or break week.
A perfect 4-0 or even 3-1 will not only restore confidence but really gain some ground on their end goal of playoffs, whereas 2-2 or a daunting 1-3 could put them behind the eighth spot yet again.
The Magic players themselves look like they could use the boost and something to celebrate.
Being two games from the second seed while simultaneously being two games from outside the race entirely is stressful.
Next: Scott Skiles should turn to Aaron Gordon in starting lineup
The team is still young and inexperienced, a good week would do wonders for the team, and their ultimate prospects.
