Orlando Magic

  • ’17-18 record: 25-57
  • ’17-18 Season Series: 2-0 (Jazz)
  • ’18-19 Advantage: Jazz

The Jazz put a beating on the Orlando Magic last season, winning in Orlando by 40 points and in Utah by 14 points. I don’t see that changing any time soon.

Orlando had a tremendous draft, landing Mohamed Bamba sixth overall. They re-signed Aaron Gordon and have a new head coach in Steve Clifford. Things are trending upwards for the Magic, but they are still a few years away from truly competing.

This is a good match-up for the Jazz.
