Magic forward Aaron Gordon is expanding his offensive game (16.0 points and 7.4 rebounds per game) and has improved his three-point shooting (34.7 per cent). Pascal Siakam won’t be able to afford to give him much space to operate. Siakam had the night off in Toronto’s Saturday win in Chicago. NEED TO KNOWThe Magic are trying to make the playoffs for the first time since 2012 and are in a battle with Detroit, Brooklyn, Miami and Charlotte for the final three post-season slots … Orlando is 7-3 in its last 10 games and rallied for a big win in Indiana on Saturday night … Ex-Raptor Terrence Ross is averaging a career high 14.6 points per game and is shooting 37 per cent from three-point range … Toronto can clinch first place in the Atlantic Division and no worse than second overall in the East with a win.
