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.
