𝗗𝗘𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗘 ➤ The #Magic will be without starting center #WendellCarterJr against the #Lakers tonight. The question is — Who will fill in to guard #AnthonyDavis? 🧐 

Two options lie in front of us. You can start #MoritzWagner, an offensive spark plug and a notoriously poor rim protector… or you can start #GogaBitadze, who has a limited offensive game and doesn’t stretch the floor like Moe. 

Or, we can think like Steve Kerr and start #PaoloBanchero at the five. I don’t think Coach Mosley would consider that, though. Same goes for #JonathanIsaac, who would only play about 10 minutes against AD. 

My call? I think our best bet is to give the majority of AD matchups to Goga. He’s a brick wall in the paint on defense, and while he’s slow to adapt if AD chooses to operate on the perimeter, I don’t think Moe would have a better chance at stopping those opportunities. 

Thoughts? Who gives us the best shot at advancing to 4-2 on the year? 🤔
