Nets vs. Magic GAMEDAY Preview: How to Watch, Injury Report, Betting Odds
ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic hope to snap a two-game skid when they host the Brooklyn Nets tonight at the Kia Center.
The Magic began a stretch where they play 10 of 11 games at home on Sunday with a loss to the Indiana Pacers despite leading at halftime. They'll look to get that sour taste out of their mouth with the Brooklyn Nets in town, a team they beat by 27 points at home on Feb. 27.
The Nets were on the second night of a back-to-back and played without Cam Thomas in the last meeting, but neither of those variables will be a factor in the rematch tonight. Thomas is active and the Nets last played on Sunday, where they upset the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road.
The Nets are also 3.5 games back of the final Play-In Tournament spot, so they cannot afford to drop any game down the stretch. The Magic have a chance to play spoiler for the Nets if they play their cards right.
