Orlando will return critical help to the roster, as guard Desmond Bane is set to return from an illness that kept him out of the Magic’s game against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. Additionally, Jalen Suggs seems to be nearing a return after suffering a bone bruise in his right knee in a 111-102 win over the New York Knicks on Oct. 25.

Heading into Tuesday's game against the Kings, the Magic's 116.1 defensive rating ranks 24th among the 30 teams in the NBA. Having Suggs back on the court will provide a boost for Orlando as it looks to shore up its defensive effort, so the team must hope for his swift return.

Bane will also have to be a better version of himself if the Magic hope to string together some wins. So far, Bane is averaging 17.5 points, the lowest mark since his rookie season in 2020-21, and he is shooting a career-worst 38.9% from the field and 36.8% from 3-point range. The season is still very early, but he needs to step it up as soon as possible.

Forward Tristan da Silva was also listed as questionable for the game against the Kings with a left calf strain that leaves his availability in doubt as well. Orlando has been hit early and often with injuries that have put additional pressure on available players to step up.

The contest will also serve as the second night of a back-to-back for the Jazz, who will face the Miami Heat on Tuesday. Despite speculation that Utah may be improving, it finds itself with a 1-9 record heading into the matchup with Miami. The Jazz are also a bottom-10 team in defensive rating (114.5), and they are 29th in offensive rating (102.8), while the Magic are 24th (107.6).

Like the Magic, Utah is also missing key players who can be found below.

QUOTABLE: Bane on the Magic’s struggles: "Trust. Trust what we're doing right now. I mean, we come in here, and we put the work in very consistently. You know, you just gotta trust that, you know, you're gonna go through periods of the season where you're playing extremely well and periods of the season when things might not be going your way."
