After an unsuccessful two-game road trip, the Orlando Magic return to Amway Center on Friday to host the Brooklyn Nets. Game time is 7 PM on Fox Sports Florida in the Orlando market.
In addition to moving from Newark this summer, the Nets overhauled their roster, bringing in All-Star swingman Joe Johnson to team with point guard Deron Williams, gadget forward Gerald Wallace, and center Brook Lopez. Brooklyn hopes that core will be enough to push it into championship contention.
Orlando also changed its roster over the summer, but not to contend; rather, the Magic traded Dwight Howard and willingly took several steps backward and are now squarely in a rebuilding project. Reserve two-guard J.J. Redick leads the team with 17.5 points and five assists per game.
