Orlando Magic vs Miami Heat: Storylines

Orlando Magic coach Steve Clifford has raved about former 1st overall pick Markelle Fultz and his improvement. Now that he’s fully healthy, he’s poised to have a huge role for this up-and-coming team. However, it seems like they’re still a couple of pieces away from contention, especially without Jonathan Isaac.

The Miami Heat demonstrated that they’re ready to compete at the highest level and enter this season as one of the teams to beat in the Eastern Conference. Hopefully, they’ll be able to stay healthy and finish the job this time after struggling with injuries when it mattered the most last season.
