Raptors and Magic Set for Rematch
The Toronto Raptors take on the Orlando Magic at Amway Center on Sunday evening.

The Raptors (23-44) have no postseason aspirations and have been dealing with the absences of several key players, so it's no surprise they'll enter Sunday having dropped six consecutive games. Their most recent stumble came Friday night against this same Magic team, which toppled them by a 113-103 score. Gary Trent Jr. led the Raptors with 31 points, supplementing them with four rebounds and one steal. Jordan Nwora furnished 14 points, five rebounds, two steals and one block. Bruce Brown delivered 12 points, five assists, four rebounds and one steal. Immanuel Quickley generated a 10-point, 10-assist double-double that included three rebounds and two steals. Kelly Olynyk and Jahmius Ramsey posted matching 10-point, one-steal tallies while pulling down nine and five rebounds, respectively.

The Raptors will remain without RJ Barrett (personal), Scottie Barnes (finger), Chris Boucher (knee) and Jakob Poeltl (finger) for Sunday's game.

The Magic (39-28) counted Friday's win over Toronto with eight wins in the last 10 games, including two straight. Against the Raptors, Franz Wagner led the Magic with 19 points, complementing them with seven rebounds, four assists and two steals. Paolo Banchero supplied 17 points, nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal. Jalen Suggs compiled 16 points, three assists, one rebound and three steals. Wendell Carter Jr. contributed 15 points, eight boards and three assists. Cole Anthony finished with 12 points and three rebounds.

The Magic will come into Sunday's game without any injuries to report.

Sunday's game marks third and final meeting between the teams this season. The Magic holds a 2-0 series lead.
