This was not the season that the Orlando Magic had envisioned, their stellar defense – 2nd in the NBA at a 109.6 defensive rating per Basketball Reference – offset by a putrid 27th ranked offense. Star Paolo Banchero has performed admirably but a 34-game injury absence short circuited the first half of Orlando’s season. Running mate Franz Wagner missed 22 games while defensive bellwether Jalen Suggs has only suited up 35 times and won’t appear in the postseason.

Ranked 5th in defensive efficiency per Basketball Reference, the Clippers have a bevy of high-level defenders. Schematically, they guard the preeminent NBA offensive set, the high pick-and-roll, differently than most teams.
