What you need to know about the Magic

Orlando didn't have too much breathing room in its contest with the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, but it still walked away with a 108-102 win. Orlando's point guard Cole Anthony posted 19 points and five assists while Wendell Carter Jr. had 13 points, eight boards and five dimes.

Markelle Fultz (injury management) did not dress but he's not even listed on the injury report for Friday. The former No. 1 overall pick has averaged 9.5 points, 3.8 assists and 2.5 rebounds in the four games he's played since missing over a year with a knee injury. Though he's played just 16.8 minutes per game, his presence has been a solid boost to an Orlando offense which ranks 28th in points per game and 29th in offensive efficiency.

What you need to know about the Timberwolves

Meanwhile, Minnesota made easy work of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday and carried off a 132-102 victory. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 74-47. Minnesota can attribute much of its success to shooting guard Malik Beasley, who shot 11-for-17 from beyond the arc and finished with 33 points and five boards.

The Timberwolves' offense is averaging 114.7 points per game, which is the best in the league despite the team ranking just 22nd in FG percentage. When the trio of Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell share the court together, the Wolves have a 27-17 record. However, when at least one of them sits, Minnesota is just 11-12. Edwards (knee) is questionable as are Taurean Prince (back) and Jarred Vanderbilt (quad).
