Tipoff is scheduled for 9:00 PM ET
Venue: Delta Center, Salt Lake City, Utah
Local TV includes KJZZ-TV / Jazz+ for Utah and WRDQ / DAZN-ORL for Orlando.
This is a matchup of two struggling teams. The Magic sit 11th in the East after a recent road win, while the Jazz rank near the bottom of the West and are mired in a nine-game losing streak. Both sides are heavily short-handed, making this a low-scoring, opportunity-driven contest for the available talent.

Current Rosters and Key Available Players
Orlando Magic key contributors (when healthy): Franz Wagner (leading scorer/playmaker at ~22 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 8.6 APG), Desmond Bane, Anthony Black, Wendell Carter Jr. (~14 PPG, 9.7 RPG), Tristan da Silva, Jase Richardson, and others including Goga Bitadze and Nikola Vučević in limited roles. Wagner has been carrying a heavy load amid absences, including a 33-point, 7-rebound, 7-assist performance in the recent win at Sacramento.
Utah Jazz key contributors: Ace Bailey, Darryn Peterson (~15.7 PPG), Isaiah Collier, Jaxson Hayes, Josh Green, Josh Okogie, Brice Sensabaugh, Mo Bamba, and Kyle Filipowski. With multiple stars sidelined, young players like Bailey and Peterson have seen expanded roles and produced solid recent outings (e.g., combined strong scoring in the loss to Miami).

Additional two-way or G-League related designations for depth players.
Both teams are operating without several primary starters and rotation pieces, elevating secondary options and creating mismatch opportunities.
Key Player vs. Player Matchups
Franz Wagner vs. Ace Bailey / perimeter defenders: Wagner has been Orlando’s primary engine (scoring, facilitating, and rebounding at a high level). Bailey and the Jazz’s available wings will try to contain his drives and playmaking while generating their own offense in transition or isolation.
Wendell Carter Jr. vs. Jaxson Hayes / Mo Bamba: Interior presence and rebounding battle. Carter has been a steady double-digit scorer and elite rebounder for the Magic; Hayes and Bamba provide rim protection and athleticism for Utah.
Anthony Black / Desmond Bane (if available) vs. Darryn Peterson / Isaiah Collier: Guard play and perimeter creation. Peterson has stepped up as a scorer and facilitator in George’s absence. Black has shown strong all-around production (points, rebounds, assists, steals) in expanded minutes.
Overall physicality and second-chance points will matter given the thin lineups and both teams’ defensive vulnerabilities this season.
Recent Team Forms
Magic: 3-7 overall (3-3 on the road). They snapped a four-game skid with a 107-100 road win at Sacramento on Nov. 10, powered by Wagner’s big night and contributions from Black. Prior results included losses to the Warriors (OT), Suns, Wizards, and Celtics. Offense has been inconsistent (around 107 PPG), but the road win provides momentum heading into the final game of a Western trip.
Jazz: 1-10 overall (1-5 at home), on a nine-game losing streak. They fell 115-109 at home to the Heat on Nov. 10 despite strong efforts from Peterson (25 points) and Bailey (23 points). Utah has struggled to hold opponents under 110 points and ranks near the bottom in scoring and defensive efficiency. Young players are getting developmental minutes amid the absences.
Series History
The Jazz hold the all-time regular-season edge (roughly 46-28 historically). Recent meetings have been competitive and high-scoring at times: Orlando won the last two (120-117 at home on Feb. 7, 2026, and 128-127 in OT at Utah on Dec. 20, 2025). Earlier games in the 2024-25 season went Utah’s way. Head-to-head has often featured tight finishes or overs.
Betting Trends
Orlando is roughly 4-6 ATS this season and better on the road ATS; Utah is 2-9 ATS and has struggled to cover amid the skid. Unders have been more common for both teams recently given defensive issues mixed with missing scorers, though recent H2H games went over. Home underdogs in losing streaks can offer value, but the Magic’s relative health edge and recent win tilt the market toward Orlando.
Wagner should lead a gritty road effort against a depleted Jazz squad desperate for a win. Utah’s young core can keep it competitive and generate highlights, but Orlando’s experience edge and recent momentum should prevail in a relatively low-scoring affair by modern standards. A Jazz cover or outright upset remains possible if the home crowd fuels an early run and Orlando’s secondary options struggle, but the Magic are the more likely winner.
