Some real postseason implications here, as these two fight for home edge in a likely 7-8 East play-in matchup that will be a direct ticket to the full playoffs. A win here for the Magic almost secures Kia Center as the site for the 7-8 as Orlando sits a game up on the Hawks in the standings and will win the season series with a W tonight. On the other hand, Atlanta pulls level in the standings with a win and will get another shot at the Magic at home on closing day Sunday that could prove the key to home court in the play-in game. Advantage tonight, however, to Orlando, which has found some firmer footing the past couple of weeks with wins in six of eight, and Paolo Banchero on a tear, leading Magic scorers in six straight games (and rebounding the last three). As for Atlanta, it has lost three of four and was hard-pressed vs. a downtrodden Utah on Sunday in a 147-134 shootout, and Trae Young has lately been playing thru painful Achilles tendinitis.
