Banchero did his part and more, pouring in a season-best 39 points, though it wasn't enough to prevent a disappointing defeat.

Banchero entered Monday's contest shooting just 30.9 percent from beyond the arc with 1.2 made threes per game but went on to knock down four triples, his highest single-game total since draining five threes Feb. 19.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Notches 20 points in blowout loss
Rotowire
Banchero registered 20 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 130-111 loss to the Hornets.
Banchero's 28 minutes of action marked his lowest playing time in a single game since Jan. 6, as he was sidelined for the final frame of the lopsided defeat. The performance highlighted Banchero's recent scoring inconsistencies; while he has surpassed the 30-point mark in three of his last 10 outings, he has also been held to scoring in the teens for three of those same 10 contests. Despite the scoring fluctuations and a poor shooting night from the floor Thursday, Banchero remained an active playmaker, dishing out seven assists for the third time in his last six games.

The All-Star forward is now up to 19 double-doubles for the year, with Sunday's being his third in his past five games. With Franz Wagner tending to a high-ankle sprain, Banchero should continue to take on all the usage he can handle.

It's the first time since Jan. 28 that Banchero has hit for at least 30 points, and the five made three-pointers were a season high.

The Magic had to work harder than expected to get past the challenge of the Jazz, but Banchero was the driving force for Orlando due to his contributions on both ends of the court. This was Banchero's best scoring output since Jan. 30, when he had 31 points in a win over the Heat. He's now scored at least 20 points in seven of his last nine games, so he's trending in the right direction after the mini-slump he went through earlier in January.
