The Orlando Magic waived Malaki Branham, JD Davison and Kevin Knox II after the preseason, leaving an open standard roster spot and giving the three Exhibit 10 signees a possible path to the G League’s Osceola Magic. Orlando’s tight payroll, including its limited room below the second tax apron, factored into the roster decisions. Separately, Anthony Black is not expected to sign a rookie-scale extension before the deadline; the Magic reportedly value him and are not looking to trade him, but may wait until restricted free agency to assess their long-term finances and roster plans.

Opinions Split on Spread for Spurs Road Game vs Suns

Previews of San Antonio’s visit to Phoenix split on the spread: one favors the Spurs, citing their record covering smaller numbers and the Suns’ poor performance as underdogs, while another backs Phoenix to stay within the roughly 8-to-9-point line at home. A separate prop pick recommends Jalen Green under 1.5 made three-pointers, noting his low three-point volume even in a productive recent game.
