The week ahead for the Magic

The Magic enter this week with a 16-4 record, 7-2 at home and 9-2 on the road. The Magic are tied for first in the East with Boston (16-4), and are tied for the second best record in the NBA. The LA Lakers have the best mark at 16-3, but have played the fewest road games in the league with just four.

The Magic close out their 4 game road trip this week with 3 games:

Tuesday Dec. 8th: at LA Clippers (9-11, 6-6 home)
Thursday Dec. 10th: at Utah (11-8. 8-3 home)
Friday Dec. 11th: at Phoenix (15-6, 7-0 home)

Utah and Phoenix will be the toughest games this week, with the Suns the only unbeaten team at home in the NBA. I would be happy with a 2-1 Magic record for this week's games.
