Game Preview
On December 1, the Orlando Magic (13-5) will host the Washington Wizards (3-15) in an attempt to extend their six-game home winning streak at Amway Center.
The Magic made it 8 wins in a row in their last game after having won 7 in a row (during which they had outscored their rivals by an average of 10.6 points). They won the game 139-120, cruising past Washington with plenty of points remaining. With 31 points and 6 rebounds, Franz Wagner is largely responsible for the Magic’s win. Another important player was Cole Anthony, who finished with 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. Orlando’s turnover rate per game is 26th, indicating that they have been careless with the ball. However, they rank ninth this season in terms of rebounding. The Magic could tie a franchise record if they win this game and extend their winning run to 9 games, which is the best in the NBA right now. The Magic would have won 9 straight games for the 4th time at this point. The team completed the task in 1994, 2001, and 2011.
The 139-120 loss to the Magic marked the Wizards’ tenth consecutive loss. With 24 points, Kyle Kuzma topped the rebuilding Wizards, followed by Deni Avdija with 22 and Jordan Poole with 19. Before the Magic took the lead via the fastbreak, the game was pretty close throughout the first and early minutes of the 2nd half. After the setback, Washington’s record for the season is currently just 3-15. Washington has the second-fastest play speed in the NBA, but their rapid play is making them less effective defensively. Not only do the Wizards allow the highest field goal % in the NBA, but they also rank last in the league in terms of rebounding. Washington is 0-13 when surrendering at least 117 points, and 3-2 while allowing 116 points or less.
