The Orlando Magic played two straight games with the same starting lineup for just the second time since April 1.
With James Ennis out for the second consecutive game with a sore calf, Dwayne Bacon moved into the starting rotation for Tuesday’s game against the Hawks at State Farm Arena. Bacon, who was making his 38th start of the season, joined Chuma Okeke, Wendell Carter Jr., Gary Harris and Cole Anthony in the first five. That combination also started Sunday against the Rockets.
The game also was a homecoming for Okeke and Carter, who were prep standouts in Atlanta and were playing in their hometown for the first time as NBA teammates.
