Orlando Magic showcase a flood of young depth as Franz Wagner and Wendell Carter Jr. anchor the frontcourt, while Jalen Suggs’s injury opens minutes for Anthony Black and the rest of the guard corps. Goga Bitadze and Tristan da Silva mix scoring with rim protection, and Jase Richardson chips in timely putbacks as Orlando builds rotation clarity. Miami Heat lean on Pelle Larsson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Ethan Thompson and Precious Achiuwa to spark offense, testing their bench options early in the preseason.

Fantasy angles center on Wagner’s usage ramp, Black’s early integration, and Carter’s continued production in the post. For Miami, Larsson’s shooting spark and Jaquez Jr.’s rising role deserve watchful optimism, while the Heat assess wing depth with Myron Gardner, Keshad Johnson and Jahmir Young.

The game hints at early-season narratives: Suggs’ injury could accelerate Magic guard rotations; Orlando’s interior chemistry remains key; Miami’s secondary scoring options will shape daily lineups as rosters settle in.
