AM: What matchup do you feel is most likely to prove decisive in Friday’s game?

BDR: The Magic may cue its defense by slowing Michael Carter-Williams. Yes, Carter-Williams has hardly been on fire this season and his numbers have dipped, but Elfrid Payton can control him defensively and hopefully (for Orlando) get this into a fast paced game.

MCW and Payton may not be the two biggest scorers on the court, but both are responsible for controlling the offense and maintaining the pace that best befits the team. Milwaukee is best to slow it down because the Magic are significantly less dangerous in the half court.
