Tobias Harris sidelined for 4th straight game Friday with ankle sprain

Reinhold Matay / USA Today Sports

Somehow, without Tobias Harris, arguably their most complete and productive player, the Orlando Magic picked up two of their biggest wins of the season this week. 

The Magic knocked off the championship-aspirant Chicago Bulls and Houston Rockets in successive games, while racking up 121 and 120 points, by far their biggest offensive outputs of the year. 

They'll have to hope that's a repeatable formula, because Harris has already been ruled out with an ankle sprain for a fourth consecutive game Friday, when the fearsome Memphis Grizzlies come to town. 

The Magic are actually 3.2 points per 100 possessions better defensively with Harris on the bench. They're slightly better offensively with Harris on the floor, but rising stars Victor Oladipo and Nikola Vucevic have more than picked up the slack in his absence. 

Rookie Devyn Marble is once again expected to start in his place.
