The Orlando Magic are on the hunt for consistency as they prepare to face off against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. Despite their injury-plagued roster, the Magic have shown resilience, bouncing back from losses and staying competitive. In a boost to their lineup, Moritz Wagner is set to return after recovering from left knee surgery, while Tristan daSilva may also see action despite being listed as questionable. However, the Magic will be without Jalen Suggs, who has been ruled out for Sunday, and leading scorer Franz Wagner remains sidelined due to a left high ankle sprain. The team's recent performance has been marred by poor rebounding and ball handling, issues that coach Jamahl Mosley is determined to address. In a contrasting scenario, the Pelicans are looking to build on their recent victory over the Washington Wizards, which ended a nine-game losing streak. Led by the dynamic duo of Trey Murphy III and Zion Williamson, New Orleans has shown signs of improvement, with Murphy averaging 34.7 points over the last three games. The tandem's chemistry and leadership have been a key factor in their success, and coach James Borrego is optimistic about their potential. The Magic and Pelicans face off on Sunday in a matchup that promises to be an intriguing test of both teams' resolve and resilience.
