Game 40 Preview: Orlando Magic (11-30) at Brooklyn Nets (17-22)
Jason Kidd's team has won seven of its last eight games, so he's been doing a lot of smiling lately

When: 7:30 PM; Tuesday, January 21st, 2014

Where: Barclays Center; Brooklyn, NY

TV: YES Network

The Nets are healthy and the Magic, who crushed Brooklyn 107-86 in Orlando back on Novemebr 3rd, are not, as they don't have center Nikola Vucevic (concussion) for tonight's snow-covered meeting at Barclays. Orlando snapped a 10-game losing streak a few days ago with a win over the Celtics while Brooklyn is coming off consecutive blowout wins over the Hawks (in London) and Knicks (at MSG).

Probable Lineups

ORL- Jameer Nelson (PG), Victor Oladipo (SG), Arron Afflalo (SF), Tobias Harris (PF), Glen Davis (C)

BKN- Shaun Livingston (PG), Alan Anderson (SG), Joe Johnson (SF), Paul Pierce (PF), Kevin Garnett (C)

Final Thoughts

Not many will be in attendance for this game, as the New York Metropolitan Area gets blanketed by a snowstorm, but that's no reason for the Nets to let up and not handle an injury-plagued, inferior opponent in the Magic. The Nets have to take care of business tonight. Also, Deron Williams will come off the bench again.
