The Orlando Magic have dazzled fans with a perfect 7-0 record at home, boasting a league-best +17.4 net rating. Yet, their road performance tells a different story, with a frustrating 1-6 record. As they gear up for a crucial West Coast road trip against the Phoenix Suns, LA Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers, the Magic face a pivotal test. Can they get their defense -- and more importantly, their offense -- to travel?
It will take more than just defense to travel to find success on the road. They will need Jalen Suggs to move past his shooting struggles since Paolo Banchero's injury. His attempts and efficiency have dropped significantly since the injury. Orlando will ned him to step up on the road.
