With so many absences, it is difficult to predict this type of NBA game, where the titular players of both teams will not be available. Still, the Orlando Magic, who have lost ten of their last eleven away games, will be looking for their second straight win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.

Atlanta Hawks: topicality and form
Before the Hawks’ scheduled game against Cleveland was called off Sunday, Atlanta secured an important victory in Florida against the Magic team. The Hawks beat Orlando (111-99) with Trae Young, who will be absent for this meeting, leading his team with 28 points and the physical presence of Clint Capela was decisive (11 rebounds). The two also had a great night against the Nuggets two days later, but Jokic and his teammates easily beat Atlanta (135-115).
Orlando Magic: news and form
The Magic have the second-worst NBA record and will be looking to get revenge after losing last Wednesday to Atlanta. Orlando has prioritized the use of young players this season. This leads to inherent difficulties due to the lack of experience in his group. Indeed, with its young roster, the Magic have lost 14 of their last 16 games. Nevertheless, a recent victory over the Nets (without KD and Harden) could lead to a new form for the Orlando franchise. Robin Lopez, who scored 20 points, picked up 10 rebounds and offered four assists in Orlando’s last win against the Nets, will have to lead his team to Atlanta again.
Even though the Hawks are deprived of a large number of important players, their roster is still in better shape than the Magic’s. We believe the host will win this match.

The Magic have one of the worst defenses in the league, and even without Trae Young, we think Atlanta is going to have a quiet evening at home. So we think the Hawks are going to want to register a lot of baskets and gain confidence before the end of the year.
