Magic vs. Warriors preview: Improving Magic defense looks to contain Steph, Dubs

A week ago, an undermanned Magic team gave the Warriors about all they could handle but came up short in the end.

The Magic entered that game last Thursday basically not knowing who their starting point guard would be. It ended up being Frank Mason, who lasted less than five minutes before suffering injury himself and leaving the Magic with eight players, none of whom were a point guard.

This time around Orlando will have a few extra bodies to throw at a Golden State team that is shorthanded themselves. Michael Carter-Williams has assumed the starting point guard role, Evan Fournier is back in the starting lineup, Al-Farouq Aminu is available off the bench, and Chasson Randle is the new backup point guard.
