The Magic have won four of their last five, forcing a strong Houston side to overtime in the other. After a shaky start, they appear to be back on track in an open Eastern Conference. The same can’t be said of the injury-hit Clippers, who have lost eight of their last nine.

Injuries are piling up for the Spurs, with Victor Wembanyama joining Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper on the sidelines. The Hawks have injury concerns of their own, but they’ve been rolling without Trae Young. Atlanta had won five straight games before a loss to the East’s top side, the Detroit Pistons. Detroit brought back a raft of injured players for that game, so the Hawks look well-placed to see off an injury-hit Spurs side after eight wins from their last 11 games.
