'I Think It's Actually Coming Together There': Orlando Magic Play-In a Possibility?

Orlando Magic are projected to miss the playoffs for the second straight season. The team's win projection is 26.5, and play-in odds are +700. No. 1 pick Paolo Banchero is expected to help the team to the postseason.

Orlando Magic are projected to miss the playoffs again this season. Bill Simmons likes the team's chances. The Ringer host believes that the Magic could be the tenth team in the East. No. 1 pick Paolo Banchero impressed in preseason. The Magic open their regular season in Detroit tomorrow. They are playing against the Pistons. It is unknown how much impact Banchro will have on the young team. Orlando won 22 games last season, but the win total has increased since the preseason, which could have to do with the improvement of Franz Wagner and Banchesro.
