The Story:

The Osceola Magic returned to action after a two-week break that coincided with NBA All-Star weekend against the Capital City Go-Go. Despite the loss, the Magic welcomed center Colin Castleton back to the rotation. The two-way big man had been recovering from a hand fracture suffered against the Birmingham Squadron back in November. Coming off the bench, Castleton pulled in a game-high 12 rebounds against Capital City.

Osceola will travel to Grand Rapids, Michigan to take on the Gold for a two-game series. The Magic have played the Gold three times on the road all-time but have yet to secure a victory away from home. Osceola has its best chance to get their first win at Van Andel Arena with the Gold struggling this season with a 7-14 record, 13th in the East. However, the Magic will need to lock in on defense against a Grand Rapids offense that averages the fifth-most points in the G League at 125.1.

The Magic return home back-to-back games against the Cleveland Charge. Both teams are at the top of the Eastern Conference and the mid-week series play a big part in playoff positioning. Osceola will have their hands full with a Charge offense that ranks in the top five in points per game (124.3, 2nd), field goal percentage (50.1, 3rd) and offensive rating (119.9, 2nd).
