Pregame notebook: Orlando’s point guard struggles and Jonathan Isaac’s injured ankle

Going into the season, there was no secret that point guard would be a problem for the Orlando Magic.

D.J. Augustin, a career backup, was thrust into the starting role, and while he was coming off a very good season last year, he’s been slightly underwhelming to start this season. He’s still shooting the ball well from beyond the arc — he’s shooting 41.5 percent going into Friday nights game — but has been inefficient, and, quite frankly, an issue once he steps inside the arc. He doesn’t draw contact, and hasn’t finished well around the rim well at all, which has put even more stress on Orlando’s already struggling offense.
