The Orlando Magic (5-15) are on the road for tonight's game following a disappointing home loss to the Philadelphia 76ers last night. It's been a rough season for the Magic thus far and things aren't likely to get any easier for them in New York later tonight.
The Brooklyn Nets (10-11) have had a hit-and-miss run of form lately. They come into tonight with more momentum than their opponents, though, thanks to last night's win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Magic vs. Nets Betting Prediction
The Magic have struggled to get out of first gear this season, especially when they've been on the road. To make a tough situation even worse, the Orlando outfit is coming in tonight with a team riddled with severe injuries. Between their uphill battle to get any momentum going this year, and the litany of health problems the players are dealing with, it's not looking great for the Magic tonight.
The Nets, meanwhile, have had a mixed season thus far but still look like a much stronger team heading into this game. Controversial point guard Kyrie Irving remains an effective component in the team's success, with crisp, effective dribbling and passing that keeps the offense moving. Small and power forward Kevin Durant is also a key figure in the team whose work on the courts eclipses that of any of the potential rivals the Magic might put up against him. All in all, the Nets should enjoy a home game victory tonight.
Prediction: Nets -11 (-110)
