Magic: OUT: Paolo Banchero (left groin strain), Mo Wagner (left knee injury recovery)
Advice and Prediction
The Magic are 4-2 without Banchero as they have run things through Franz Wagner on the offensive end of the floor. They went 20-16 without Banchero in the 2024-25 season so they have been able to find success without the star forward on the floor. As the Magic head into this contest, they will look to give Wagner the ball and continue to play through him on that end. With that being said, the Sixers will likely have Joel Embiid return after missing the previous seven games–six due to this right knee issue. His presence should make all the difference for the Sixers in this one.
