The Magic have won all three of their games against the Nets this season. Brooklyn is a bad offensive team — ranking 27th in the league in points scored per possession through Sunday — and Orlando has held Brooklyn to 40.3 percent shooting and 84.0 points per game. . . . Nets center Brook Lopez is averaging 17.3 points per game against the Magic this season, but he’s made only 35.4 percent of his shots. . . . The Nets beat the Cleveland Cavaliers and Indiana Pacers on Thursday and Saturday, respectively. But the Nets will be playing on the second night of a back-to-back tonight after they lost to the Miami Heat on Monday night in Miami.
If Orlando beats Brooklyn tonight at Amway Center, it will be the first time the Magic have won two games in a row since Feb. 7-8.
Josh Robbins
As stated yesterday, Victor Oladipo (wrist) is very likely to play tonight. Ersan Ilyasova (shoulder sprain) will not play.
John Denton .@OrlandoMagic C @NikolaVucevic (groin) is OUT tonight vs. @BrooklynNets Hopes to play on Thurs.
Thaddeus Young has averaged 22.0 points on 57.5 percent from the floor over his past five visits to Amway Center.
Lopez is averaging 25.0 points over the last four games.

This is such a fun season, that I just noticed that all of Orlando's starters have O in their names.

I sort of hate when we insert injured players right away into the starting lineup. Every time I've seen us do that (no matter who it is) it changes the dynamic a bit. I would bring Oladipo in really early if we're struggling and halfway through the quarter if not.

Season Sweep incoming, Boston should be proud with the work we're about to give the Nets.
I have a sinking feeling the offense will be bogged down however.

We should have no problem winning tonight. I know how much that pisses some of you off.

Having a franchise you own honor you is something else. Can't see another owner in the league actually going through with this.

FloridaHoosier if you go and get a beer at halftime make sure you're back for the start of the 3rd. Don't be lame like everyone else.
