The Orlando Magic were leading the Utah Jazz on the road and playing well Saturday night, but a late collapse cost them what would have been a signature win.
Their reward for playing well for 45 minutes is facing a rested Nuggets team in Denver on Monday night.
The Nuggets (15-23) are travel-weary but feeling good after routing the Indiana Pacers on Thursday in London. Denver scored a season-high 140 points and had 37 assists, also a season best, in the victory.
"One of our best games of the season, obviously coming at the right time," Nuggets Michael Malone said after the game.
