The Orlando Magic take on the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center on Monday night.

The Magic (24-32) check into Monday's game in the midst of a spiral that's threatening to derail their season, as they've dropped nine of their last 12 games. Their most recent stumble came against the Dallas Mavericks, which throttled them by a 122-106 score Friday night. Evan Fournier led the way with 28 points, adding two rebounds, one assist and two steals. Nikola Vucevic followed with a 27-point, 12-rebound double-double that also included one assist, four steals and one block. Terrence Ross provided 19 points, five rebounds, one assist and two steals. Markelle Fultz collected 14 points, nine assists and one rebound. Aaron Gordon generated a 10-point, 12-rebound double-double that also included seven assists, two steals and one block.

The Magic will continue without Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) for Monday's contest.

The Nets (26-29) are making a run for the postseason in a lackluster Eastern Conference, and they'll come into Monday's game having forged a 5-2 record over their last seven games. Their most recent victory was one of the most impressive of the season, as they decimated the Charlotte Hornets by a 115-86 score Saturday night. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot paced the Nets with 21 points, complementing them with four rebounds. Caris LeVert finished with 17 points, three rebounds, two assists and six steals. Garrett Temple generated a 15-point, 11-rebound double-double that also included three assists and one steal. Taurean Prince supplied 14 points, four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal. Jarrett Allen posted a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double that also included three assists and two blocks. Joe Harris and DeAndre Jordan matched Allen's scoring total, while Spencer Dinwiddie turned in 10 points, nine assists and six rebounds.

The Nets will come into Monday's game without any short-term injuries to report.

Monday's game marks the second of four meetings between the teams this season. The Magic hold a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 101-89 win Jan. 6.
