The Orlando Magic are ecstatic to get home after a five-loss road trip when they take on the New Orleans Pelicans.
Both of these teams need a win in the worst way. The New Orleans Pelicans have lost three in a row all at home as they go out on the road to tip off against the Orlando Magic. The Magic meanwhile will be thrilled to get back home. Orlando is coming off a humbling five-game road trip where they did not win a game. The Magic started 3-1 but now are three games under .500. Orlando is most recently coming off a 118-111 loss against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. The Magic were close to ending their losing streak just down two against Indiana with just a minute left but Tyrese Haliburton came through with a clutch three and Benedict Mathurin sealed the deal with a couple of free throws to lead the Pacers with 20 points. Franz Wagner was Orlando’s leading scorer with 28 but the team just couldn’t overcome Indiana shooting 46.2 percent from behind the arc. Orlando is the slight -3.5-point favorite when it gets back from that long road trip tonight.
