Orlando @ Golden State
Current Records: Orlando 14-25; Golden State 20-19
What to Know
This Saturday, the Golden State Warriors are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 117.59 points per matchup. They will take on the Orlando Magic at 8:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Chase Center after having had a few days off. If the contest is anything like Orlando’s 130-129 victory from their previous meeting in November of last year, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.
The Warriors lost 122-119 to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday on a last-minute deep three from Detroit’s small forward Saddiq Bey as the clock expired. Shooting guard Klay Thompson put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 30 points. Thompson’s night made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least 30 points.
Meanwhile, the Magic came up short against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday, falling 123-115. Despite the loss, Orlando got a solid performance out of power forward Paolo Banchero, who had 30 points in addition to nine boards.
The Dubs are expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Indiana Pacers Dec. 5 easily too and instead slipped up with a 112-104. In other words, don’t count Orlando out just yet.
