The Orlando Magic should have more opportunities because the Wizards have been playing at the fourth-fastest tempo in the NBA this season. After five games, the Magic's offensive rebounding offence is ranked seventh in the NBA. Since the beginning of the previous season, the Wizards' offence has been the seventh most aggressive in the NBA in terms of three-point attempts.
Orlando is at 2-4 after defeating the Charlotte Hornets on the road Wednesday. The Magic had lost four straight games prior to that Hornets matchup, which was not exactly how they had planned to begin the season. After playing the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road, Washington has returned home. The Washington Wizards (1-4) and Orlando Magic (2-4) are now prepared to play on Saturday at Capital One Arena .

Washington Wizards vs Orlando Magic- Game Prediction
The Orlando Magic will play the Washington Wizards on the road in an attempt to win back-to-back games for the first time this season. Paolo Banchero averages 22.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists a game for the Magic.
Tristan da Silva is the Magic's best long-range player. He makes 1.8 long-range shots every game. 1.2 thefts per game are recorded by da Silva. Every game, Banchero gathers 1.2 blocks.
On the other hand, Kyshawn George has shown this season to lead active Wizards players in points (18.6 per game), rebounds (8.8 per game), and assists (5.2 per game). George hits 3.4 treys per game. The Wizards' defensive efforts get a lift from Carlton Carrington (1.2 steals per game) and Alex Sarr (2.0 blocks per game).
Hence, it's safe to say that the Orlando Magic enter the matchup with strong defensive form and a young core full of energy, giving them an early-season edge. The Wizards, however, rely heavily on Jordan Poole’s scoring spark to stay competitive.
