The Orlando Magic need to regain some confidence by snapping their four-game losing streak. A game against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday can provide that opportunity.
On Tuesday, the Orlando Magic will look to snap their four-game losing streak when they visit the Sacramento Kings. Here is what you need to know heading into the game.
Game time: 10 p.m. ET, Golden 1 Center, Sacramento
TV: MAGICTV27/DAZN-ORL
Vitals: After dropping a back-to-back at home, the Magic have failed to win a game on their four-game West Coast road trip.
The most recent loss came in an overtime battle against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night by a score of 126-119. Orlando did well to clean up the turnovers that plagued it in a loss to the Phoenix Suns that kicked off the trip out west, but shooting continues to be a massive issue.
The Magic took 113 shots against Golden State and only made 43 of them. Nearly half were 3-point attempts (54), and they only made 18.
According to NBA.com, Orlando is 24th out of 30 NBA teams in field goal percentage (44.5%). In 3-point percentage, it is 18th (34.2%). The Magic continue to hurt themselves at the free-throw line as well by missing those shots. Heading into Monday's slate of games across the league, they rank 23rd in free-throw percentage (74.9%).
The Magic's offensive struggles are compounded by their inability to get it done on defense. As of this writing, their 116.1 defensive rating ranks 25th in the league.
Whether it is one player dominating the show like Stephen Curry did on Saturday or a collective effort by an opponent, Orlando has not been able to get stops on a consistent basis.
Sure, the Magic are hurting without Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs on the floor, but the flaws they are presenting run deeper than the absence of those two players.
However, it is worth noting that ESPN has Suggs listed as a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest against the Kings. Moreover, Sacramento looks to be lottery-bound once again, as it has started the season with a 1-9 record.
If there were any time for the Magic to snap their losing streak, it would be against this team.
