The Orlando Magic (19-25) saw their two-game winning streak come to a halt on Wednesday night, as they fell on the road to the Detroit Pistons, 120-115. The Magic have been jockeying for potential eighth seed position with Detroit for the past several weeks, as they pulled up short despite their entire starting five posting double digit production. Nikola Vucevic and sub Terrence Ross put up 24 points apiece, with Vucevic adding a team-high 13 points on 11-of-22 shooting and Ross draining six three-pointers. Through 43 games played, Vucevic is averaging 20.2 points to lead the charge offensively for Orlando. Evan Fournier finished with 18 points, five assists and three triples, while Aaron Gordon came away with 12 points, eight boards and a pair of assists. The Magic remain in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, just a half game behind Detroit, and play the Nets again next Wednesday, this time at Barclays Center.

Wednesday night saw Spencer Dinwiddie lead the reborn Brooklyn Nets (23-23) to a stunning road overtime win over the Houston Rockets,145-142. Dinwiddie exploded off the bench to produce 33 points and 10 rebounds on his way to a double-double, going 13-of-22 from the paint and 4-of-8 from downtown. Fellow reserve player DeMarre Carroll put up 22 points, five rebounds and four three-pointers, while Jarrett Allen had a monster performance defensively, locking down 24 boards to add to his 20 points. Treveon Graham pulled away with 21 points and 4-of-5 production from the charity stripe for a streaking squad that finds itself within striking distance of sixth place in the East, now owned by the Miami Heat. Dinwiddie continues a career trajectory of production that may see him emerge off the pine in a starting role sooner rather than later, as the fifth-year sub is now averaging 17 points and 5.1 assists while only starting four times this season.
