Brooklyn Nets vs. Orlando Magic news

Referencing Land of Basketball’s database, based on 120 regular season games played all-time between these two Eastern Conference teams, the Magic are 67-53 versus the Nets. However, in the past three head-to-head meetings, Brooklyn is 2-1 against Orlando. On Mar. 19, 2021, the last time these teams faced off, the Magic won 121-113 at Amway Center. This will not be an automatic win for Brooklyn. Plus, in the previous 10 head-to-head contests, these teams are 5-5 against one another.

In other news, Nets forward Kevin Durant has had 11 consecutive games this season with at least 20 point scored. The eleven-time All-Star is averaging 29.5 points, 8.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists. Durant is also shooting 56.7% from the field and 38.2% from behind the arc. Nonetheless, while the Slim Reaper is playing well, his teammates need to step their game up. Without Kyrie Irving in the lineup, James Harden and Blake Griffin have to score more baskets.

The most prolific scoring start to a season the Nets have ever had.
