Through 3 Quarters
Although the Orlando Magic were the underdogs at tipoff, they've since taken control of the game. Three quarters in and their offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating the Brooklyn Nets 103-84 three quarters in.
The Magic have been led by power forward Aaron Gordon, who so far has shot 6-for-7 from downtown and has recorded 33 points. One thing to keep an eye out for is Nikola Vucevic's foul situation as he currently sits at four.
Point guard Kyrie Irving has done his best for Brooklyn, currently boasting 36 points (43% of their total) and four assists. Uncle Drew is close to surpassing his season high of 40.
This is the most points Orlando has had yet this season going into the fourth quarter.

What to Know
The Orlando Magic haven't won a contest against the Brooklyn Nets since July 31 of last year, but they'll be looking to end the drought Friday. Orlando is getting right back to it as they host Brooklyn at 8 p.m. ET March 19 at Amway Center. The Nets should still be riding high after a win, while the Magic will be looking to get back in the win column.
Orlando was just a bucket short of a victory on Thursday and fell 94-93 to the New York Knicks. Shooting guard Evan Fournier (23 points) was the top scorer for Orlando.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn bagged a 124-115 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. The win came about thanks to a strong surge after the first quarter to overcome a 40-25 deficit. The Nets' shooting guard James Harden was on fire, posting a triple-double on 40 points, 15 dimes, and ten boards. That's the third consecutive matchup in which The Beard has had at least ten assists. Harden's points were the most he has had all year.
The Magic are expected to lose this next one by 9.5. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
Orlando's loss took them down to 13-27 while Brooklyn's win pulled them up to 28-13. Allowing an average of 115.29 points per game, the Nets haven't exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We'll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming game.
