Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (right knee inflammation) will not play on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers.
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.
