Looks like Cody Martin might be going back to the locker room for stitches or something else to try and close that finger cut on his right index finger. Hope it isn’t on a location that effects his ball release when shooting. – 7:37 PM

PJ taken off the dribble twice by Fultz on a switch for layups, not easy shots by any means but seems like the Orlando guard likes the matchup. Hornets cold from beyond the arc to start with – 7:24 PM

Jalen Suggs appeared to tweak his right ankle in the game’s first few possessions.
He’s been limping off and on for most of the quarter, yet still diving for loose balls.
Magic call timeout with early 13-9 lead over Hornets. – 7:22 PM

The @Orlando Magic have now made at least one three-point field goal in 1,210 consecutive games, dating all the way back to March 17, 2007.
It stands as the fifth-longest active streak in the #NBA and also the fifth-longest streak in @NBAHistory.

While the expectation is #Cavs will have Evan Mobley tomorrow night, Jarrett Allen remains OUT. Allen went through an individual workout in Orlando this afternoon. He was able to take the splint/brace off his hand/finger at times. I also saw him bouncing & gripping a tennis ball. – 5:47 PM

Wonder if this guy will get some playing time tonight? After Tuesday’s game in Miami, James Borrego said they wanted to go smaller against the Heat. We’ll see if that changes tonight vs. Orlando. #Hornets have to win to have any chance at finishing above 10th place in the East. pic.twitter.com/ZI4lC09bZK – 5:40 PM

To illustrate how little we know, even taking the @Basketball-Reference projections as 100% accurate (for example the Nets odds for #7 feel too low here), the C’s 1st round is still a deep mystery…

Schedule is set for the play-in tournament next week. In the East, Cleveland, Brooklyn, Atlanta and Charlotte will be the teams with seeds still TBD. In the West, Minnesota is likely 7th seed (but possibly Denver), Clippers are 8th, Pelicans and Spurs are battling for 9 and 10. pic.twitter.com/6ucAybnwuo – 5:00 PM
