The Washington Wizards (16-48) visit the Orlando Magic (36-28) in an NBA 2025-26 matchup on Thursday, March 12, at Kia Center.
Orlando and Washington have clashed three times this season, with the Magic owning a 2-1 series lead. Their most recent matchup on March 3 resulted in a dominant 126-109 win by the Magic.
It also helps that the Magic are riding momentum after a 128-122 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Desmond Bane had himself a night, scoring a game-high 35 points built on an efficient 63.2% shooting. Paolo Banchero and Tristan Da Silva chipped in 25 and 23 points, respectively.
The win over the Cavaliers marks the Magic's fifth straight victory. During that span, they manufactured wins over good teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Milwaukee Bucks, not to mention the Cavaliers.
On the flip side, the Wizards have spiraled recently, dropping game after game in a brutal stretch. They are coming off a crushing 150-129 defeat to the Miami Heat on March 10, in which Bam Adebayo exploded for 83 points.
The Wizards are now on a nine-game losing streak, and things are not looking up for them. They have a long list of injuries, including Anthony Davis, Kyshawn George, Cam Whitmore, and D'Angelo Russell.
