Orlando Magic v Philadelphia 76ers
2021-22 NBA Regular Season
Monday 14 March 2022
Amway Center, Orlando, Florida
Tip-off at 00:00
Orlando Magic will be looking to finish a disappointing
NBA Regular Season strongly when they welcome the Philadelphia 76ers to the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida on the morning of Monday, March 14.
The Magic's record of 16-50 is the worst in the Eastern Conference and they prop up the standings as a result, with a 10-game losing streak during December and January doing little to aid their cause.
Jamahl Mosley's team pushed the West-leading Phoenix Suns all the way on Wednesday, March 9 but ultimately lost 102-99 in Orlando, where Wendell Carter Jr. scored 20 points for the hosts.
"I'm proud of our guys for the way we competed all night long, but it's more about what we did defensively," Mosley said. "When you're shooting 18 per cent from the 3-point line ... we weren't able to make shots, but we still had an opportunity to win the game."
The 76ers are keeping the pressure on the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference after winning eight of their last 10 games to sit second in the standings.

They bounced back from a 99-82 loss to the Heat by beating the Chicago Bulls 121-106 on Tuesday, March 8 thanks to a mammoth 43 points from Joel Embiid.
The league's top scorer reached the 40-point mark for the 10th time this season, while he also registered 16 rebounds.
Commenting on his performance, Embiid said: "Just being aggressive. The last two games I've had bad starts, so I wanted to be aggressive and live in the paint."
This will be the fourth meeting between the two teams this season, with the 76ers coming out on top in all three of their previous encounters.
