Magic vs. Nets Preview: The return of Orlando Magic basketball
Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images The Orlando Magic have very little time to get back up to speed as they resume the 2019-20 season in the first of eight seeding games.
Their quest to move into the seventh seed and thereby avoid both a play-in tournament with the Washington Wizards as well as the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round requires them to usurp the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets may be woefully shorthanded but they still hold a half-game lead over the Orlando Magic and could extend that advantage to 1.5 with seven games to play should the Magic falter.
