Takeaways Magic: Orlando has won four of its last five road games after losing five straight from Oct. 30 to Nov. 6.

Nets: Dennis Schroder, the team’s second-leading scorer with 18.6 points per game, did not play due to personal reasons.

Key Moment Despite being tied with New York in Group A play, the Magic hold the tie-breaker in the point differential column.
