The Orlando Magic, led by fullback Franz Wagner, author of 31 points, won the Washington Wizards 139 to 120 during Wednesday evening in the NBA, and continue their unbeaten streak.
– The roller coaster for the Magic. Orlando won its eighth game in a row once morest the Wizards, and moved into second place in the Eastern Conference with Milwaukee, who did not play Thursday. Both teams have the same number of wins (13) and losses (5). If they beat the Wizards once more on Saturday, the Magic will equal their longest winning streak with nine units.
– First for Wagner: the German Franz Wagner, crowned world champion with the “Mannschaft” in September, scored more than 30 points once morest the Wizards, for the first time in his career in an NBA match, at 22 years old. “We feel a lot of pleasure, we would like it to continue,” he declared following the new victory of the Florida franchise.
– End of series for Philadelphia. If Orlando continued its winning streak, that of the Philadelphia 76ers, who also had seven wins in a row before Wednesday evening, came to an end. Ill, Cameroonian Joel Embiid, the team’s main provider, top scorer in the NBA this season with an average of 32 points per game, was sorely lacking in the conference semi-finalist team last season, beaten in Louisiana by New Orleans 124 to 114.
– 33: as the number of points scored by the leader of the Pelicans, Zion Williamson, author of a full game with also eight rebounds, six assists, three blocks, and an insolent success (11 out of 12 shots at two points , at 91.7% success).
– Triple double for Jokic: in Denver, the Nuggets’ playing master, Nikola Jokic, double MVP (2021, 2022), collected 32 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds, greatly contributing to the victory of the reigning NBA champion once morest the Houston Rockets 134 to 124.
– Denver invincible at home: the Denver Nuggets recorded their ninth victory of the season at home once morest the Rockets, for zero defeats, and consolidated their second place in the Western Conference.

– The Pistons are running out of fuel. The Detroit Pistons are in distress. They suffered their 15th consecutive defeat once morest their visitors, the Los Angeles Lakers, clear winners 133 to 107, and are dead last in the Eastern Conference with only two victories in 18 days.
– 40: this is the best point total of the evening, scored by De’Aaron Fox. His performance did not prevent the defeat of his team, the Sacramento Kings, at home once morest the LA Clippers, 131 to 117.
