Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black is the X-Factor for the team.
When Black plays well, the Magic usually win. In the last two games, Black is averaging 19.5 points per game, stepping up in the absence of Paolo Banchero.
“I mean you saw it, there’s a level of aggression to him, a confidence,” Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said of Black.
“He changes the game both defensively and offensively, and that’s what we keep asking of him. You know, set the tone defensively and offensively when you have the ball, command the floor, look to attack, get downhill, finish at the rim. Those are the things that he’s capable of doing and it changes our team when he plays with that level of confidence and toughness.”
