Both Utah and Orlando rely on a tough D, while they love to play at a slow pace, especially the Magic. Orlando records only 98.1 possessions per 48 minutes which are the fourth-fewest in the NBA. The Magic lack true shooters and cannot lean on their offense to win games. The similar case is with the Jazz who tally 99.6 possessions per 48 minutes.

The Magic will struggle with fatigue, playing back-to-back after a tough division battle against the Miami Heat last night.
Orlando will miss Jonathan Isaac a lot, while Aaron Gordon is already out due to a sore Achilles tendon. Gordon could easily miss this game, and the Magic would be pretty thin on wings and on offense.



Look for a strong defensive performance from both teams here tonight.
