Teams Preview

Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets are going on three in a row, securing their victories on the road against the Phoenix Suns (127-117), Golden State Warriors (128-120), and Sacramento Kings (108-103). Currently in 3rd place in their division, the Nets take the 8th slot in the Eastern Conference with a 9-10 record. 

It's quite a bag full of mixed stats. They do a lousy job rebounding, only bringing in 30.4 rebounds per game in the league, and their blocking stinks at 3.6 rebounds per game. Offensively they are pretty efficient, hitting on 54.2% of 2-pointers and 38.3% of 3-pointers, but that is how they are producing 112.4 points per game, good for 18th in the league. They are giving up 114.4 points per game, placing them at 20th in the league.

Key players are Cam Thomas, who scores 24.7 points and also rebounds for 3.2 and assists for 3.4 in 17 starts but could miss this game as he is under observation at the time of writing; Dennis Schroder is another star for the Nets as he adds 18.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists to the Nets offense, whereas Cameron Johnson started all of the 19 games while averaging 17.9 points. 

The Nets, however, have some very serious injury problems with seven players being out, including Cam Thomas, Nic Claxton, and Bojan Bogdanovic. So that can be an issue in terms of performance.

The lineup against the Magic could start with Dennis Schroder at point guard, Ziaire Williams at shooting guard, Cameron Johnson at small forward, Dorian Finney-Smith at power forward, and Ben Simmons at center. 

The Nets will need to improve on their rebounding deficiency to keep the momentum going, hoping that the injured players get back as soon as possible. Only in the games to come will they be able to know if they are going to continue their climb up the Eastern Conference standings.

Orlando Magic

Orlando Magic seems to show amazing form these days having won three consecutive matches against the likes of the Chicago Bulls (133-119), the Charlotte Hornets (95-84), and the Detroit Pistons (111-100). This winning streak has propelled them to the top of the Southeast Division and 3rd in the Eastern Conference with a record of 13-7. 

While ranking 23rd in the league for rebounds per game (42.1) and 20th for assists per game (24.7), Magic boasts excellent records in blocks per game (6.6) and opponent points allowed per game (102.9). They do well in their even 2-point shooting with 56.0%, but much lesser for the 3-points made at 31.0%, and with a scoring rate of 107.7 points per game, they rank very low at 27th.

Important players are Franz Wagner (23.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.7 assists in 20 games) and Jalen Suggs (15.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 19 games). The team is suffering from injury problems at the moment where Gary Harris is injured with a hamstring problem while star man Paolo Banchero has a right-torn oblique which has prevented him from only playing five games this season.

The starting five should have the likes of Jalen Suggs (PG), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (SG), Franz Wagner (SF), Tristan Da Silva (PF), and Wendell Carter Jr. (C). Magic's job is very clear; they should keep up with the good defensive effort alongside better shooting to climb standings among the conference ranks as soon as possible and hope for the patients to recover quickly.

Brooklyn Nets vs Orlando Magic Match Prediction & Analysis

In a match scheduled for the Barclays Center, between the Brooklyn Nets and the Orlando Magic, both teams present an exciting contest. The Nets have a home record of 4-3 and an away record of 5-7 but are in good form, winning 4 of their last 5 games. 

To date, the Magic have a good home record of 9-0, which is very poor away at 4-7, and come into the game with an equal number of wins in their last 5 matches. On the against-the-spread (ATS) performance, the record of the Nets turns up to be 13-5-1 but has a goal of 72.2% cover against Magics' 12-8-0 spread and 60% cover. 

The Nets will want to take advantage of their recent form and home ground to pull this one off; however, the Magic are heavy opponents in this game because of their strong defense and the home-streak dominance they pose. This will be a very intriguing game between two opponents who want to keep that momentum going.
