Bulls vs. Magic scouting report

Posted November 03, 2017 1:00 am

Bulls vs. Orlando Magic at the Amway Center, 6 p.m. Friday

TV: WGN

Radio: WLS 890-AM

Outlook: The Magic might be the NBA's biggest surprise so far, with a 6-2 record that includes quality wins over Cleveland, San Antonio and Memphis. The formula has included nice development from a couple of young stars. SG Evan Fournier is averaging 22 ppg, and PF Aaron Gordon is at 20.7 points and 8.7 rebounds. C Nikola Vucevic (19.0 ppg) remains a scoring threat, and Orlando made a nice pickup this summer by signing ex-Spurs SF Jonathan Simmons (15.8 ppg). Depth also has been a strength with ex-Bulls PG D.J. Augustine and former Warriors PF Marreese Speights. The Bulls went 3-1 against the Magic last season.

Next: New Orleans Pelicans at the United Center, 7 p.m. Saturday
