The Magic' playoff chances will be determined by a guard not named Desmond Bane

Anthony Black has been the best player on the Orlando Magic in multiple games this season, most recently on Tuesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Black scored a career-high 31 points (and did so in just 28 minutes because the game was a blowout) on 12-17 shooting. He's now scored double-digits in six straight games, including 20-plus in two of those.

We know that Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero are the stars on this team, with Desmond Bane acting as the league's best No. 3 option (and No. 1 or No. 1 every so often).

But Anthony Black has the ability to lead the Magic on some nights, like we saw on Tuesday.
