Aaron Gordon, Evan Fournier Set To Play Thursday
4 years agoOrlando Magic point guard/power forward Aaron Gordon (ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier (groin) have been cleared to take the floor for Thursday's game against the Knicks. Gordon will draw the start, but also serve as the team's backup PG behind Chasson Randle with the rest of the team's primary ball-handling options unavailable. Fournier returns from a four-game absence, having dropped 26 points -- with five made threes -- in his most recent outing on March 1. With Orlando hampered up and down the depth chart, Gordon and Fournier will be upside plays, albeit contrarian ones due to their tough matchup against the Knicks, who are allowing a league-best 105.1 PPG.
