BREAKOUT: Orlando Magic, Paolo Banchero & Franz Wagner READY to SHOCK Doubters in 2026?
Description
The Orlando Magic are not predicted to improve their standing for the upcoming season. Their over/under is set at 43.5 wins, a discouraging step back that likely lands them back in the Play-In Tournament.
Those predictions are based on a team that has not earned the benefit of the doubt or trust, particularly after falling so short last season.
But the Magic have all the ingredients for a team to take a major step forward. They have hungry stars eager to make up for last season. They dealt with a lot of injuries that feel unlikely to repeat. And they were still in the mix despite a disastrous season.
Orlando has to compete with a tougher Eastern Conference, but the Magic are one of the reasons the East is so much more difficult.
