There will be those who say this is the most important game on the Magic’s schedule. There will be those who say it’s the difference of a few measly percentage points in a luck-of-the-draw lottery.
No matter which side of the tanking fence you are on, there’s no denying that if the Magic defeat the Timberwolves on Sunday, they will have little to no chance of finishing in the bottom three, thus losing the best chance at the top overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
The Magic enter the game with a record of 21-46, sitting one game ahead of the the Wolves, who have the league’s third-worst record at 20-47.
