Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner did their best to help Orlando in their 120-109 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Suggs has been a dynamo on both sides of the floor for the Magic, while Wagner is expected to fill in the shoes of the injured Banchero.

Meanwhile, the Mavericks ran out of steam in their 108-102 defeat at the hands of the Rockets on Thursdsy. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving were almost unstoppable, but the rest of the team failed to show up.
