The NBA schedule is full of oddities and anomalies, further evidenced by the fact the Brooklyn Nets and Orlando Magic are concluding their three-game season series a little more than two weeks after they began it.
The Nets have already won the series from the Magic with wins in the first two meetings and will look for their first season sweep of Orlando since going 3-0 against the Magic in 2014-15.
Brooklyn (28-25) is looking to salvage a split of its current two-game road trip after letting one get away late on Thursday night in a 117-114 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
