As the Magic conclude their home schedule at the KIA Center with a 96-76 win hosting the defending NBA Champion Boston Celtics, the postseason is their focus as they’ve clinched a play-in game hosting that contest as the seventh seed in the East.

While their opponent on Tuesday has yet to be determined, should they make it into the tournament to battle the Celtics or the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, they’ll need a third player to step up on offense to keep opposing defensive from putting all their chips down on defending franchise players Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. Here are the candidates for who that might be.

C Wendell Carter Jr.

Carter missed significant time early in the season, where he lost his starting spot to Goga Bitadze . Though this is his first season averaging below 10 points, he has re-established himself as the starter with increased production later in the year combined with his ability to defend multiple positions while battling in the paint with opposing post players for rebounds.

Since March 1st, averaging around 10 points per game and seven rebounds in nearly 28 minutes per game. Carter would be an essential element in exploiting opportunities in the paint for dumpoffs from Banchero when a defense collapses on him.

G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

Early in the year, Pope was seen as an overpaid disappointment by fans. Averaging less than nine points for the season so far for the first time since his rookie year when he joined the NBA as a Detroit Piston in 2013. However, since March 1st, Pope has made his presence felt anew.

An essential element of the Magic offense bombing from three-point land in the last 17 games, he’s hit 34 of 68 shots from distance for around 50%  while averaging 10.7 points. That’s the contribution that keeps spacing manageable for the Magic, which allows for both Banchero and Wagner to operate attacking the basket. Pope’s ability to defend on the perimeter can also not be overlooked.

He left the game early against Boston with knee soarness, but according to head coach Jamahl Mosley “he’ll be fine”.

PG Cole Anthony

Acting as the initial backup point guard for Suggs after his injury on January 27th, Anthony picked up the slack significantly while the Magic struggled with Banchero and Wagner returning to health from their right oblique injuries. From January 30th to March 10th, Anthony averaged 13.6 points, hitting 42% from beyond the arc while delivering 3.4 assists in more than 25 minutes of play per game.

Those stats don’t accurately account for his high-energy playing style that forces opponents into mistakes and his uncanny ability to show up in big moments. One example would be his 22-point performance in their win over the Bucks in Milwaukee that kicked off the Magic’s late-season push that enabled them to lock up the seventh seed.

Whichever player fills this role is dependant on the opponent and the health of the individual players themselves as the postseason approaches and Orlando finds out who they host on April 15th.
