The Nets are 49-62 against Orlando since the Magic came into the NBA in 1989, but have won four of the last five meetings. The Magic have the longest winning streak in the series with 10 consecutive wins from Oct. 30, 2009, to March 16, 2012.

A six-game string is the longest winning skein for the Nets, set from Dec. 30, 1991, to March 4, 1993.

Orlando’s 139-105 win at home on March 29, 2016, marked both the most points scored in a game by either side, as well as the Magic’s largest margin of victory in the series.

The Nets had their highest-scoring game in a 129-91 win at East Rutherford on March 12, 2000.

The most lopsided game in the series was on Nov. 9, 2012, when Brooklyn took a 107-68 decision at Orlando.

Nick Anderson of the Magic has the highest-scoring individual game, dropping 50 on the Nets in a win at East Rutherford on April 23, 1993. The most scored by a Net was the 41 points from Kendall Gill in a Jan. 13, 1997, loss at East Rutherford.

Since the Nets moved to Brooklyn in 2012, they are 14-9 against the Magic. Their highest-scoring game since the move was an Oct. 20, 2017, game at Barclays Center, which was a 126-121 victory.

Nikola Vucevic set the high individual game in the Brooklyn era when he had 41 points for the Magic in that Oct. 20, 2017, loss. Aaron Gordon matched that effort in an Orlando homecourt win on Oct. 24, 2017.

D’Angelo Russell now holds the highest-scoring game for Brooklyn since the move with his 40-point performance in the victory at Orlando on Friday.
