Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbamaniacs.com\/en\/paolo-banchero-leaves-magic-in-serious-bind\/\">losing Paolo Banchero to injury<\/a>, the Magic have managed to pick up important victories over the Knicks and Raptors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those results are encouraging, but Orlando are desperate to break out of the Eastern Conference&#8217;s middle tier and establish themselves as genuine contenders. Losing Banchero is a major setback, especially with Jalen Suggs and Jonathan Isaac also sidelined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest concern is the team&#8217;s inconsistency. Through their first five games, the Magic have a point differential of -8.9, the fourth-worst in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Player to watch: Franz Wagner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rare bright spot in a difficult start to the season. The German has stepped up in Banchero&#8217;s absence and comes into this game after an impressive performance against the Raptors, recording 26 points, 11 assists and five rebounds. Orlando will need him to maintain that level if they are to challenge Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS: ORLANDO MAGIC VS.

There were questions about the decision to replace Jaylen Brown with Paul George, but their 4-1 record, including four consecutive victories, suggests the move is paying off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">George is enjoying his best start to a season since leaving the Clippers, averaging 21.4 points per game while shooting 41 per cent from three-point range. Just as importantly, he appears to have settled comfortably into his role within the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boston&#8217;s strong start has also been helped by their relatively good injury record, although Mitchell Robinson&#8217;s availability has been a concern ahead of this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Player to watch: Jayson Tatum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who else? Despite shooting just 25 per cent from three-point range, Tatum continues to lead a Celtics team competing near the top of the Eastern Conference. He comes into this game after recording 26 points, seven rebounds and seven assists against the Bulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jayson Tatum Scores 40 Points &amp; Drills Game Winner In OT Win Over Brooklyn Nets 125-124\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sJfXieNCh5w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magic vs Celtics: head-to-head record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boston have historically held the upper hand in this fixture.
