Overview

  • The game starts at 6 p.m. ET at Orlando’s Kia Center and streams exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
  • Orlando will be without leading scorer Franz Wagner due to a high left-ankle sprain, while Miami lists Tyler Herro as probable and has Bam Adebayo available.
  • The Magic are 2-0 against the Heat this season and entered as the East’s top seed after a 4-0 group stage, with Miami qualifying at 3-1.
  • Sportsbooks price the matchup near a pick’em with totals around 235 points, and some models cite injuries and defense in leaning to the Under.
  • The winner advances to a Dec. 13 Las Vegas semifinal against the Knicks-Raptors winner, and Orlando will use its standard court after the tournament floor was reported damaged in storage.
