Orlando Magic
USACurrent form
The Magic continue to fight for the fourth place in the Eastern Conference, but they do it with great difficulty. The team suffers losses due to injuries of key players such as Paolo Banchero, Moritz Wagner and Franz Wagner. This significantly weakens the offensive potential and the overall dynamics of the game.
In the last two meetings, Orlando lost to Miami (88:89) and New York (85:108). The team demonstrated a desire to fight, but the lack of depth prevented them from achieving results. In the upcoming match, Jamal Mosley charges will try to find ways to cope with the crisis and win against Brooklyn.

Paolo Banchero, Moritz Wagner and Franz Wagner will be out of action in the team next match due to injury.

Brooklyn Nets
USACurrent form
The Nets are going through an even more difficult period. The team is losing points more and more often, which brings them closer to the three outsiders of the East. In the last match, Brooklyn lost to San Antonio (87:96).

1.90Tip and bets
Injuries to key players continue to hurt Orlando results. Without depth and offensive leaders, the hosts will have to find new approaches to play against Brooklyn. The Magic have yet to show any improvement, which increases the Nets' chances of success.
Brooklyn, in turn, shows instability, but the opponent problems can play into their hands. We assume that the guests have a good chance to take advantage of the current situation and impose a fight.
Our prediction is a Brooklyn win with a handicap of (+6) points for 1.75
