The Orlando Magic have their road map now. The path back to the playoffs is laid with the release of their 2020 schedule.
All the particulars are easy enough to decipher.
There will be 82 games with the attendant back-to-backs, West Coast trips and the like. There will be the spots that make the schedule look brutal and the spots that make it look more manageable. Long homestands and long road trips.
The early breakdown of the schedule sees opportunity in the early part with nine of the first 13 games at home against seemingly manageable opponents.
