What to know about the Nets
The Nets snapped their four-game losing streak with a 111-86 victory over the Grizzlies on Monday, improving the team to 1-2 since the firing of head coach Jacque Vaughn with Kevin Ollie becoming interim head coach.

Brooklyn used a balanced scoring effort with seven different players, including all five starters, scoring at least 10 points with Dennis Schroder's 18 points leading the way.
The Nets shot 48.9% from the field while holding the Grizzlies to 38.7% shooting. Brookyln entered Monday losers of seven of their last eight games but four of those last five losses during that stretch came against teams ranked in the top-six of their conference.

What to know about the Magic
The Magic enter off a 109-92 loss to the Hawks on Sunday, snapping a three-game winning streak. Orlando is 8-3 over its last 11 games as one of only eight teams in the Eastern Conference with a record above .500 after finishing at least 14 games under .500 in each of its last four seasons. The Magic have been one of the biggest surprises in the league this season after opening the season 14-5, and they've continued their winning ways throughout the season. The Magic are also 17-3 ATS as a favorite this season.
Paolo Banchero, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and reigning NBA Rookie of the Year, leads the Magic in points (22.7 ppg), rebounds (6.8 per game) and assists (5.2 per game). He's questionable for Tuesday with an illness. Orlando has relied on a stout defensive effort in its turnaround. The Magic are seventh in scoring defense (110.8 ppg), while holding their opponents to the second-fewest rebounds and allowing the third-fewest assists in the NBA. Orlando forces the third-most turnovers as it will count on another stringy defensive effort to knock off Brooklyn on Tuesday. See which team to pick here.
