ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers square off for the fourth and final time this regular season Sunday evening. Tipoff is at 6 p.m. from the Kia Center.

Orlando has won two of the first three matchups between the teams this season.

The contest concludes the Magic's three-game homestand, which they're looking to avoid going winless on. Losses Thursday versus Minnesota and Friday versus Milwaukee precede the tilt, but with Paolo Banchero back, Orlando feels its ceiling is rising.

Philadelphia hopes to wash the taste of a Friday home loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

Orlando, 22-18, sits fifth in the East. Philadelphia is 15-21, 11th in the East as it looks to recuperate from its slow start to the season.
