Orlando Magic fans can exhale. Franz Wagner dodged a season-ending injury and is expected to miss only about a month of action with a high ankle sprain. The Magic's postseason dreams are still very alive.

Wes Goldberg and David Ramil of Locked On Heat join the show to break down where the Magic go next, how the Heat are adjusting and getting healthier and who will come out on top in the NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup on Tuesday.
