TIP-INS :
Nets: Bogdanovic's 22 points was the highest scoring total by a rookie this season. Joe Johnson eclipsed the 4,000-rebound mark with his second rebound the first quarter.
Magic: Victor Oladipo (facial fracture), Kyle O'Quinn (sprained left ankle) and Devyn Marble (strained rotator cuff) were sidelined for Orlando. Oladipo wore a clear mask to cover his face during pregame warm-ups. Oladipo worked on offensive pick-and-roll offensive plays on the court and then rode a stationary bike in the tunnel.
