If fans of the Orlando Magic want to see their team in action, late February to early March will be their best chance.

According to Orlando Magic PR, the Magic’s longest homestand will occur from Feb. 25 to March 9. In those 13 days, they will play six games. 

For the Magic, this will be a good stretch that can help them recover and prepare for what will be their longest road trip, which will run from March 10-18 and will include five games. The All-Star break, which goes from Feb. 19-24, directly precedes Orlando’s homestand.

For those on the roster who will not be participating in All-Star week, there will be plenty of time to sleep in their own beds and see their families, even when they return to game action. However, just because the Magic will be at home does not mean the opponents they are hosting will be easy.

During their two-week stretch at home, the Magic will face the Charlotte Hornets, the Atlanta Hawks, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Indiana Pacers, the Utah Jazz and the Phoenix Suns. Except for the Utah Jazz, all of the teams listed here are playoff-level organizations.

And who knows, perhaps the Jazz will surprise us next season. In the latest episode of Full Court Magic, I discussed with my colleague Andrew Cherico how difficult this home stretch will be for Orlando:

"That's time to, you know, really work on your body and get healthy again. But to your other point, yeah, I mean, it's gonna be a bit of an arduous slate of games there. So, to start it off, they have the Charlotte Hornets. Charlotte's gonna be a good team this year. I know they moved off LaMelo Ball, but getting back Naz Reid and banking on the development of Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel, you know, I think that is going to be beneficial for them.

And then you got the Hawks. The Magic were swept by the Hawks last year in the regular season. You know, they're another good team because not only do you have, you know, like a Jalen Johnson, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels, they also added guys like Lu Dort and Aaron Wiggins from the former champion Thunder- just defensive stalwarts that are gonna make life difficult for any team they play, especially a team that struggled on the offensive end like the Magic.

Then you have the Lakers, the Pacers, the Jazz and the Suns. And I'm not even sure you get a break with the Jazz, because, I mean, they're a team that, yeah, they've been in this kind of perpetual rebuild since, you know, trading Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, but they're getting better. Like, there's not really any easy games here, Drew, despite being at home."
