On Monday, the Orlando Magic (12-8) host the Chicago Bulls (9-10) at the Kia Center, and if you’re wondering how to catch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Magic defeated the Detroit Pistons 112-109 in their last outing on Friday in the NBA Cup, clinching East Group B and the top seed in the Eastern Conference (4-0). The group outscored the Pistons 62-46 in the paint and converted 24 turnovers into 29 points.
Desmond Bane produced a season-high 37 points and eight rebounds to lead the way, while Franz Wagner scored 21 points and seven rebounds and Anthony Black added 16 points. Black ranks 15th among reserves in scoring this season (200 points).
The Bulls dropped to 0-3 on their four-game road trip on Saturday, falling 103-101 to the Indiana Pacers. They lost in the final moments after Pascal Siakam sank the game-winning shot with 0.1 seconds left to drop to under .500 for the first time this season.
Josh Giddey led the Bulls with 17 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, Tre Jones tallied 17 points and Nikola Vučević added 16 points and eight rebounds. Vučević recorded his 17,000th point in the contest, becoming the 13th center and 106th player in history to reach that mark.
The Bulls and Magic are meeting for the second of four games this season. Chicago won the first contest on Oct. 25, though Orlando has taken six out of the last nine matchups overall.
