Vucevic, Oladipo and Ilyasova will not play tonight due to injuries, the Magic said. Same lineup as last night.

.@OrlandoMagic coach Scott Skiles said that C @NikolaVucevic (out tonight for a 12th game with a groin strain) could practice on Monday.
Getting stops has been a major problem over the last two months for Hoiberg's team. The Bulls are yielding an average of 107.5 points in their last 26 games, allowing teams to reach the century mark 24 times. Opponents reached triple digits in 22 of their first 45 games.
The Magic (29-43) rank in the bottom third of the league in scoring, but had 102 in a 13-point home win over the Bulls on March 2, and are averaging 107.6 points in their last eight in Orlando.
Still, Chicago has an advantage seeing as the Magic are mired in a six-game losing streak and will play the second half of a back-to-back. Orlando has lost four straight and nine of 11 in the second game on consecutive nights.
In this season's two meetings, Orlando has limited Chicago to an average of 90.5 points and 38.2 percent shooting -- 27.7 percent on 3s. The Magic are 23-8 when holding teams to 101 points or fewer and 6-35 when allowing 102.
REASONS TO WATCH:
Six games have gone by and we're still sitting at 29 wins... will we get to 30 wins for the first time during this rebuild before DeMarcus Cousins does in his entire six-year career? He and the Kings are currently at 28 wins heading into the first game of a back to back tomorrow night...
Elf, Mario and AG starting...
Over/under 20 hair strokes for Fournier...
