March 22: vs. Philadelphia 76ers

During a lengthy March homestand, the Orlando Magic will have another nationally televised game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Like the Pacers game, there will be plenty of young talent on display. From Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons to Aaron Gordon and Jonathan Isaac, this game will feature plenty of highlight plays.

The 76ers are projected to be one of the league’s most improved teams. With more young talent than any other roster, Philadelphia just needs to stay healthy. Joel Embiid proved he is an elite talent and Markelle Fultz should solve their issues at the point guard position.

If health is on their side, the 76ers could make a playoff push. While the Magic could take advantage of seven home games in a row to move up the standings.

Of late, the Magic have gotten the better of the 76ers. Taking seven of the last nine games between the two. This is a bit of a budding rivalry with some interestingly fun and close games between the two teams in recent years.

It will be neat to see if the Magic can handle the big lineup the Sixers appear to be using this season. Orlando has athletic forwards that may cause trouble for the Philadelphia defense.

Do not forget J.J. Redick will be in town too!
