what to know
The Orlando Magic have a big challenge ahead of them as they are expected to be thrown off the court. They will face the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday at 7 pm ET at the Wells Fargo Center. The Magic haven’t won a game against Philadelphia since Dec. 27, 2019, but they will look to end the drought.
The game between Orlando and the Chicago Bulls last Saturday wasn’t particularly close, with Orlando falling 128-109. One silver lining for Orlando was the play of center Moe Wagner, who scored 27 points.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia was able to get a solid win over the Denver Nuggets last Saturday, winning 126-119. The win came on the back of a strong comeback after the break to overturn a 73-58 deficit. Center Joel Embiid had an explosive game for the 76ers; he posted a double-double with 47 points and 18 rebounds along with five assists.
The Magic are now 19-31, while Philadelphia is 32-16. Two numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Orlando is entering the matchup with the fourth fewest points per game in the league, having amassed just 111.1 on average. Philadelphia’s defense has more to brag about as it ranks fourth in the league in points allowed per game, at just 110.9 on average. Orlando could have a hard time breaking 100.
