Paolo Banchero had 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists as the Orlando Magic beat the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves 132-120 on Wednesday for their fourth consecutive victory. Desmond Bane scored 18 points and Franz Wagner added 17 for Orlando (44-36), which moved into seventh place in the tight Eastern Conference standings, one-half game ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers (43-36) with two games remaining. Goga Bitadze had 14 points and a season-high 15 rebounds, Tristan da Silva added 12 points, and Jalen Suggs and Jevon Carter finished with 11 apiece. Orlando led by as many as 24 in the third quarter and completed a two-game season sweep against the Wolves. Terrence Shannon Jr. set career highs with five 3-pointers and 33 points for short-handed Minnesota (47-33), which clinched the sixth position in the Western Conference on Tuesday. Jaden McDaniels returned after missing six games with a knee injury and scored 18 points in 19 minutes. Naz Reid had 15 points and Donte DiVincenzo added 12.
According to Suggs, it was all thanks to new teammate Jevon Carter. “I got the haircut in light of Jevon,” Suggs said after practice Monday ahead of Tuesday’s game at Kia Center against the Wizards. “I’m trying to follow his footsteps with the baldy.”
“My favorite part about (him) is, he’s held me accountable on multiple occasions,” Suggs said about Carter. “Just raw, uncut comms, not trying to sugarcoat, not trying to make me feel good. He’s just sharing real truth with me and I’ve appreciated that. “It’s been nice having him around,” Suggs added.

Julia Poe: The Bulls’ involvement in this three-team trade, per sources: OUT: Emmanuel Miller to Cleveland IN: Two second-round picks, Dario Saric Jevon Carter has also been waived.
Joel Lorenzi: Matas Buzelis on IG in light of Bulls waiving Jevon Carter. Very influential vet for him. “He’s not gonna sugarcoat anything,” Buzelis told me earlier this year. “He’s just a real dude. He doesn’t bullshit you. … he’s one of the realest.”
The Bulls will waive Jevon Carter to make room for Šarić on their roster, a league source told The Athletic. Carter was one of Bulls’ seven expiring contracts, making $6.8 million this season after opting in to the final year of his deal.
Joel Lorenzi: Jevon Carter on why a team made up of “youth with experience” and a couple older guys haven’t been able to form good habits. He pointed to the details, giving an example that plagues the Bulls’ offense. On their margin of error: “more times than not, we start off already down 10. We’re already fighting against the game. I feel like guys take it upon themselves to get it done themselves. We’re not that type of team and it’s showing.”
