Orlando Magic
The Magic are off to their best start since the 2011 season.

The Magic had won 2 straight on the road before falling to the Clippers in La La Land.
Nuggets
The Nuggets have not looked great on both sides of the court so far on the season ranking 24th in both points per game and opponents’ points per game.
Danilo Gallinari leads the Nuggets averaging 17.7 ppg and is the only player averaging over 15 ppg. However, on the season he is only shooting 39.1% from the floor.
The Nuggets do not have a good interior defense and that may hurt them tonight facing Orlando C Nikola Vucevic, who is averaging 15.1 ppg and 8.7 rpg. Nuggets C Joffrey Lauvergne will have to body up on him and not let him have his way in the paint.
