He went for just 9p Chicago held out F Otto Porter Jr. (lower back spasms) for the fourth time in 10 games. And Donovan wasn’t sure he’d make the trip to Orlando. Wendell Carter Jr will be out another month. The Magic have lost four straight, all by double digits. They are coming off losing their 2nd straight to the Raptors, 123-108 at home on Tuesday night. Fred VanVleet scored a franchise-record 54 points on them.
