Aaron Gordon on Magic sidelines Monday due to knee inflammation
Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (right knee inflammation) will not play on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
Gordon fell back to earth a bit last game after a torrid stretch, but hopefully it's only a minor ailment. He averaged 18.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.9 blocks, and 1.8 3-pointers in the month of February. Gary Clark is replacing Gordon in the starting lineup. Khem Birch should see a boost off the bench. Look for Nikola Vucevic and Evan Fournier to take on more work.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the over/under in the Magic-Pacers game (221.0 points) is tied for lowest on Monday's seven-game slate. The Magic have an implied total of 114.0 points.
