MIAMI – The Orlando Magic and Miami Heat square off Monday night in a crucial fourth and final regular season matchup. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. from the Kaseya Center in South Beach.

Orlando has won two of three between the division rivals this season, meaning a win on Monday night would clinch the season series and playoff head-to-head tiebreaker versus the Heat, which could become important come April.

The 24-23 Magic snapped a five-game losing skid on Saturday night, defeating the visiting Detroit Pistons behind a 42-point fourth-quarter and 64 combined points from the reunited duo of Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero.

The 22-22 Heat are looking to win a second straight game after defeating the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday evening.
