The NBA offers a 100% Eastern Conference duel between the Orlando Magic and the Washington Wizards. The meeting will be held at the Kia Center this Monday at 12:00 a.m. The Orlando Magic are off to one of their best starts to the season in several years. Indeed, the franchise occupies the honorable 7th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 4 wins for 6 losses. The Magic started very strong, but the absence of several key players, including Banchero, then caused the team to sink. Despite good resistance, Jamahl Mosley’s men lost against the leaders, the Cleveland Cavaliers, 120-109, and the Oklahoma City Thunder, 102-86. The trip to the Dallas Mavericks was too high a step for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and his teammates, who lost heavily 108-85. However, they are starting to wake up on the Indiana Pacers floor, despite a 118-111 setback. Finally, they returned to success by crushing the New Orleans Pelicans 115-88 thanks to Franz Wagner, author of 27 points.
The Washington Wizards, for their part, are experiencing yet another difficult season. The franchise is only in 12th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 2 wins for 5 losses. After a failed start, Brian Keefe’s men revived by winning the double confrontation against the Atlanta Hawks, 119-121 in the first leg then 133-120 in the return. These victories are precious against a direct competitor; however, Bilal Coulibaly and his teammates spoiled their efforts by losing 98-118, then 128-104 against the Miami Heat. Their 112-125 defeat against the Golden State Warriors is logical as the gap in level between the two teams is abysmal. The big concern is the loss suffered 128-104 at the Memphis Grizzlies, where Washington failed to concede less than 30 points in each of the 4 quarters.
