Result: Loss
10* Sacramento (6:05 ET): Orlando has to like its chances of finishing 7th in the East now. After a convincing 128-118 win on Friday, the Magic leapfrogged a severely depleted Nets squad in the standings and now hold a commanding 6.5 game lead over ninth place Washington. The big story for the Magic in their 1st game of the restart was the offense as they scored 111 pts through three quarters, which is more than the team averaged per game prior to lockdown. The Magic led the game by as many as 29 points.

Out West, Sacramento is in a much more precarious position when it comes to making the playoffs. They started as one of four teams within 3.5 games of 8th place Memphis. But they lost to one of the four, San Antonio, 129-120 on Friday. Even though they scored 120 points, the Kings did not shoot well from three-point range, making only 12 of 38 attempts. The Kings can ill-afford another loss Sunday or they’ll risk losing even more ground to the Memphis-San Antonio winner. At least New Orleans lost again yday.

My guess is that Orlando might be feeling a little too good about itself coming into this one. They won’t have the same sense of urgency that Sacramento will. I can’t see the Magic shooting as well as they did vs. Brooklyn, who - again - is playing with a real “skeleton” crew right now. The Kings outscored the Spurs over the final three quarters Friday and unlike Orlando should shoot better here. Take the points. 10* Sacramento
