Summary
The Orlando Magic face the Brooklyn Nets in a highly anticipated NBA matchup on November 29, 2024. The Magic enter the game with impressive recent form, having won 10 of their last 11 games and sporting a strong 14-5 record. The Nets, meanwhile, have struggled recently with a 9-9 record and are coming off several concerning losses.
