Brooklyn Nets (10-4) @ Orlando Magic (5-9)

The Orlando Magic are coming off a blowout loss to the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday night at home 110-89.  The Magic players and coaches held a team meeting after the big loss and frustrations are mounting for this Orlando team. 

The Nets crushed the Magic 107-68 at Amway on Nov. 9 and completed a sweep of the home-and-home where they then beat the Magic in Brooklyn two days later 82-74.

Andray Blatche (9.1 points and 5.4 rebounds) will play a big role tonight, as well as Reggie Evans and the Bench Mob, because Brook Lopez is injured with a mild sprained ankle and will miss the next two games at minimum.

“I think we’ve got a bench. I think Andray Blatche can step in and play, and Reggie Evans,” general manager Billy King said. “I think we can sustain much better than we have in the past when an injury happens.”

No one in Brooklyn cares about Orlando’s problems because we have been there in New Jersey so the Nets need to take care of business and beat the Magic for the third time this year and then end their three-game road trip at Miami on Saturday.

INJURY REPORT:

Brook Lopez  (sprained right foot) is OUT
