Return of Ant and/or Jaden?- Magic GDT

[FNG]

Good news that Jaden is playing tonight...the "week to week" report was a little scary, but it sounds like he'll be fine. Also good to see video of Ant moving well as he got some shots up pregame.

The line was 6 1/2 this morning and jumped as high as 12 1/2 when it looked like everyone was going to be out. Now it's dropped to 10 1/2 with the news Jaden is playing. I'm thinking we'll go Joan/Naz/Jaden/Donte/Bones, with SloMo, TJ and Clark off the bench. Joe may start to let him get some minutes in front of his family.

And it's Donte, Joe, Jaden, SloMo, NAZ.

Kinda fun to watch a stress-free game with literally nothing on the line. I still hope Finch has these guys playing hard and trying to win. It would be nice to see this mix of vets and young guys give Orlando a scare and at least keep it close.

I agree, Q...I'm three hours behind you here in Tucson, so I plan to watch the game before dinner. It will be fun to see Joe out there! Also curious how Joan will do against Carter Jr.

This lineup is ridiculous.

Rudy's absence on defense is obvious, even with SloMo in there.

Naz, it's OK to try to provide some weak side help and block a shot every once in a while! He just watches as guys get to the rim. Not. A. Center.

Our starters hung with their starters and their starters are their real starters.

Now comes the dropoff...in theory.

Seeing all of Beringer faults. Fouling, bad hands and the biggest concern defensive rebounding
