The Brooklyn Nets (1-10) have been hungry for another win ever since they won their first game of the season at the Indiana Pacers in what seems like a long time ago. Brooklyn is still trying to figure out how to play more of the rookies while being competitive in their NBA Cup matchup Friday at the Orlando Magic (6-6) and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!
The Nets come into this game following a 119-109 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday in which Brooklyn was competitive in the game for the first three quarters before things fell apart in the fourth. Center Nic Claxton had arguably his best all-around performance of the young season with 21 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks while forward Michael Porter Jr. put up 21 points, six rebounds, and three assists of his own.
The Magic enter this matchup after a 124-107 win at the New York Knicks on Wednesday in which Orlando ended the game with Paolo Banchero suffered a groin injury in the first quarter of the contest. Forward Franz Wagner led the way for the Magic with 28 points, nine rebounds, and four assists while guard Desmond Bane had 22 points, six rebounds, and eight assists to help Wagner out with the scoring.
