Friday, January 8: @ Brooklyn Nets

A brief one-game trip for the Magic this week as they face off against the Nets for the third time this year.

I do not think too much of an analysis is needed for this game, given the two teams faced off just a week ago.

The Magic have been victorious twice so far, though last week’s game did come a little close for comfort.

Since then, the Nets received the disappointing news that Jarrett Jack will miss the season. The point guard was a rare bright spark for the Nets and had been putting up good numbers, including against the Magic.

This task just became a bit easier. This should be a game Orlando can put away easily.
