No. 26: Orlando Magic

Head coach Frank Vogel will write the ship with the Orlando Magic, who lost their way after Stan Van Gundy’s exit. The front office acquired a two-way player inSerge Ibaka, but the team lacks consistent scorers to hang in tight games.

Evan Fournierbrings three-point shooting at the 2-spot, but where does the offense pick up on his poor shooting nights? The Magic have a strong defensive roster, but Vogel must continue guardElfrid Payton’s development withVictor Oladipoin Oklahoma City.

No. 25: Miami Heat

The Miami Heat lost the franchise icon inDwyane Wade. The short-term outlook for forwardChris Bosh‘s career seems grim. He dealt with blood clots in the previous season, which forced him to shut down after 53 games.

The Heat move on with centerHassan Whiteside, who’s far from a leader in the locker room, and point guardGoran Dragic. Justise Winslow will continue to make strides, but the team takes a huge step back.

Next: Nos. 23-24
