The Orlando Magic are in a difficult position due to a rash of injuries and a number of players entering health and safety protocol ahead of Saturday’s game in Brooklyn. Not only are they missing key players, they’re also on a seven-game losing streak.
To add insult to injury, Kevin Durant is playing on another level. The man is averaging 40 PPG, 10 RPG and 9 APG on 49% shooting from the field. With the rest of the team stepping up as well, they can make it five consecutive wins with a victory over Orlando.
