Well, maybe hold off on that buy signal for the Magic after Orlando missed 25 of 30 shots beyond the arc in a 101-92 loss at kia Center to the Mavs on Thursday. Still, there were some bright signs, such as 35 points from Paolo Banchero and another 20 from Franz Wagner, who together accounted for almost 60% of the Magic's offense. Three wins and covers prior, however, suggested that Orlando might be able to move into the 7th spot in the East and at least get the most-favorable assignment(s) at home in the play-in round. We don't like the dynamics for Sacto, which makes this long trip after breaking a four-game skid at the expense of the fading Blazers on Thursday. Overall, the Kings have now lost 8 of 11, their West play-in spot in jeopardy. Play Magic
