Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 31, including a 25-footer that made it 128-123 with 51 seconds left, as Atlanta won 132-125 in Orlando. Paolo Banchero had 35 points and 10 assists on 10-of-12 shooting, and his 11-0 run gave the Magic a 98-95 lead late in the third quarter. Atlanta erased an early double-digit deficit with two 12-0 runs and scored 44 in the second quarter. A successful challenge overturned a late offensive foul on Jalen Johnson with Atlanta up 120-117; Johnson finished with 20, as did Dyson Daniels. Sean Sweeney lost his first game as Orlando's coach.

Fantasy angleBanchero's 10 assists are the big takeaway: a point-forward night that boosts his value.
