NBA Power Rankings: Battle for seeding priority of OKC Thunder and peers
Orlando magic. 19. team. 38. . 33-38. Previous: 19th
Much like the Hornets, the Magic flirt with moments of brilliance and then descend downward. Orlando, however, has a tendency to string together longer winning streaks prior to equally lengthy losing streaks.
With their frenetic activity, they’ve maintained a grasp of reaching the postseason and it seems likely one Florida team will be hosting a playoff series. Through 71 games the Magic sit two losses back of the Heat with an equal win total of 33.
With 11 games left to play the Magic hold the tiebreak over the Heat (3-1) and will face the Hornets on the final game of the season with Charlotte already holding the 2-1 edge.
