With a 2-0 record already under their belt, the Philadelphia Sixers are ready to face their toughest test yet as they take on the Orlando Magic at home. The Magic have been touted as a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference for years to come, and their recent acquisition of Desmond Bane is expected to be the key to unlocking their potential.
Bane, a career 40.9 percent shooter from beyond the arc, is not just a spot-up shooter, but also an elite marksman who can drive himself and make plays for others. His presence on the court has already helped space the floor, creating driving lanes for his teammates. However, it's still early to tell how well Bane will integrate with the rest of the team.
Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are expected to form a dominant duo in the Magic's frontcourt, but their shooting efficiency from three-point range is an area that needs improvement. If they can increase their three-point percentage, it could make them nearly unstoppable on offense.
Despite having made significant additions to their roster through trades and signings, the Magic still have a lack of identity. Their fast-paced offense has hurt them on defense, with 19 turnovers in just three games. It's unclear what upgrades they'll need at the trade deadline, but with limited roster space under their hard cap, it won't be easy.
The return of Moe Wagner from injury could help alleviate some of these issues, but it remains to be seen whether the Magic will be able to establish themselves as one of the NBA's elite duos. One thing is certain - with Bane on board, they have a good chance of doing so.

I think the Magic are gonna be a tough match for the Sixers 
. With Desmond Bane on their team 
, they've got a legit 3-point threat 
and someone who can create plays for others 
. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are cool too 
but they need to work on those 3-pointers 
️. The Sixers have been playing solid ball 
so far, but this could be their toughest test yet 
. I'm curious to see how Bane integrates with the team 
. Will it be a win for the Magic or will the Sixers come out on top? 
. And don't even get me started on Franco Wagner, I mean I love the guy but he's not exactly the most reliable shooter 
. Desmond Bane is gonna have to carry them somehow and that's just not sustainable for a whole season 
. And what's up with their lack of identity? They're like a team trying to be everything to everyone 
. I'm still gonna tune in and watch 'em crush it at home tho 
gonna crush those magic 
but idk about Orlando 
Paolo & Franz r cool too 
but they need to step up their game 
gotta get it together 
moe wagner returning 
can only bring good vibes 
! I mean, 2-0 already and they're about to take on the Magic? 
. Orlando needs to step up their game ASAP or they'll be stuck in neutral 
. And what's with Paolo & Franz? I know they're talented, but those three-point percentages gotta improve 
! The Magic are trying, but it's just not clicking yet 
. Bring on the Bane factor 
and let's see if this Orlando squad can get their mojo working 
and the Magic's offense as a jigsaw piece that needs to fit into it 
. If they can space their floor properly with Desmond Bane 
, they'll have more opportunities to drive & make plays 
or the Magic's offense will be like a car without wheels 
, it could be an interesting matchup 
.
