ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Magic's second-to-last homestand wraps up Monday night when the visiting Los Angeles Clippers make their lone trip to Central Florida this regular season. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. ET from the Kia Center in downtown Orlando.

The Magic come in fresh off clinching a postseason spot on Saturday night, cruising to a 30-point, wire-to-wire victory over the Sacramento Kings to improve to 36-39 this season. As of Sunday evening, they are currently the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Clippers are on the second night of a back-to-back, coming from Cleveland on the heels of a 127-122 road loss on Sunday afternoon. At 42-32, LA is locked into a battle with Minnesota and Golden State to try and avoid the Play-In Tournament.

Before Monday's tipoff, here is the latest on player health, status and injuries for each team.
