The Orlando Magic try to grab a win after back-to-back losses when they host the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon.
The Orlando Magic go for the season series sweep in the fourth game of the year already against the Brooklyn Nets. The Magic hold a 3-0 series lead but two of those three games have been close. Orlando is trying to avoid a three-game losing streak tonight though after dropping to the New York Knicks 108-85 on Friday. The good news for the Magic is that they still hold a 1.5-game lead over the Miami Heat for the top spot in the Southeast standings. After a tough last-second one-point loss against Miami in their previous game, the Magic were depleted against the Knicks. New York extended its winning streak to six games with the victory.

The game was close most of the way but the Magic just didn’t have enough as the Knicks broke away big at the end of the third quarter. Jalen Suggs led the game with 27 points but the duo of Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart was just too much who scored 26 and 23 respectively. The problem is that Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are still out that didn’t help with Orlando shooting 36.8 percent from the field against New York. The Magic have now lost four of their last six home games but they should be considerable favorites against Brooklyn who is seven games under .500.
The Nets are coming off a defensive battle but they ultimately lost on Friday 96-87 against the San Antonio Spurs. Keon Johnson had a great night scoring a game-high 25 points but Brooklyn shot just 38.9 percent from the field and less than 30 from three-point range. We might be in for another low-scoring by tight game here this afternoon.
