New Orleans Pelicans vs. Orlando Magic Pregame Report 4/3/2024

It’s a big match up between the Pelicans and the magic tonight at the blender as both teams are trying to stay out of playing territory welcome into our Pelicans pregame report presented by iata amaron Summers after Monday’s loss there has been a lot of talk about how

The Pelicans need to be the aggressor at the start of the game tonight our first quarter start uh was four at best and um we’re casual we were too casual our sense of urgency had to go up and our guys understand that our margin for errors is a little smaller you don’t

Have Brandon you don’t have Jose so our ability to come out with the mentality have physicality to to hit first has to be there from the start overall the magic are 23rd in offensive rating however they are second in defense they’re holding teams to 108 points per game and averaging eight

Steals in order for the Pelicans to get going offensively it will actually start on the defensive end getting stops crashing the boards and getting out in transition while New Orleans has done a really good job scoring inside they’re ranked eighth in the league averaging 52 points in the paint per night the magic

Are really good at protecting the paint they’re only allowing 47.7 points a game inside it is going to be a tough matchup for the Pelicans they worked a lot at shootaround on how they can still get at that spacing inside that’s a lot of guys on that side with

Like size uh I guess which enables them to switch a lot of stuff which I mean we all know keeps the ball out of the paint so we just got to find ways to to get in the paint and make the the defense collapse if the Pelicans are able to get
