Facing the Clippers on the first night of a back-to-back, the Magic were unable to find enough scoring to upend Los Angeles at Kia Center.

For a team that needs long-range shooting, Caleb Houstan has offered the Magic a needed boost in the month of March from beyond the arc.

Last week, Paolo Banchero helped Orlando go 3-1 when he averaged 30.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists from the floor during 35.8 minutes.

The goal, the current L.A. Lakers coach and former Orlando Magic player says, is not to just rebuild the Palisades rec center and the public spaces in Altadena affected by the fires.

Fortunately for the Magic, they didn't need Cole Anthony against the Kings, but the reserve guard believes he's close to returning from a left toe strain.

Markelle Fultz told reporters in the locker room prior to tip-off at Kia Center he's in regular contact with his former Magic teammates.

During Markelle Fultz' first return to Orlando with the Kings, the Magic led the entire night at Kia Center.

Jamahl Mosley said it's hard to gauge where Magic guard Cole Anthony is in his recovery from a left big toe strain because he has yet to do contact work.
