The Orlando Magic finally wrap their longest roadtrip of the season Saturday when they visit the Sacramento Kings.
Tipoff between Orlando and Sacramento is set for 10:00 PM Eastern. Fox Sports Florida and ESPN 580 AM will offer live coverage in the Orlando market.
Orlando's last time out: The Magic extended the Utah Jazz's misery by another game Friday, 98-93, sending Utah to its eighth straight loss. Tobias Harris scored 12 of his game-high 22 points in the fourth quarter to prevent Orlando from a collapse: it led by as much as 17 points but just barely eked out the victory. Victor Oladipo finished with 20 points and six assists for the Magic, who once again did battle without starting center Nikola Vucevic.
Sacramento's last time out: Like Orlando, the Kings are also coming off a victory Friday: Carl Landrytipped in word Rudy Gay errant two-point try with one second remaining in overtime, giving the Kings a 102-101 win over the Indiana Pacers. Gay shot 10-of-20 to score a game-high 27 for the Kings, and Darren Collison added 20 points, six rebounds, six assists, and four turnovers. Sacramento played without DeMarcus Cousins, its franchise big man.
Last season: The Kings swept the two-game series from the Magic. In the most recent meeting, host Sacramento cruised to a 103-83 victory behind a 24-point, 14-rebound, six-assist, three-steal effort from Cousins. Orlando, meanwhile, missed two-thirds of its shots. Harris scored 16 to lead the way.
