The Magic are heading into this game after picking up a win over the Raptors. The win was something the Magic really needed as it helped keep them close to the Hornets for the lead in the Southeast. The problem is winning the division would be one of the only ways the Magic or any of the other Southeast teams would be able to make it to the playoffs this year as the entire division has been one that has been pushed around a lot this year.
Nikola Vucevic has been the leading scorer for the Magic on the year with 20.5 points a game. However, when it comes to passing the ball the Magic have relied on D.J. Augustin who has managed to get 4.9 assist a game. The Magic have been able to rely on Vucevic to clear the boards pretty well for the team with 12.1 boards a game.
