The Orlando Magic will face the Utah Jazz on Sunday without several key players, presenting another opportunity for promising rookie Tristan da Silva to shine.

The Magic are coming off a 106-97 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Friday, where da Silva scored a career-best 25 points, including 5-for-7 from beyond the arc.

Second-year wing Brice Sensabaugh led the Jazz with a career-high 34 points on 12-of-18 shooting from the field and 7 of 11 from beyond the arc. Sensabaugh, who was born and raised in Orlando, will be playing in front of his hometown crowd on Sunday.
Jazz forward John Collins returned to face Miami after missing five games with a hip contusion and had 24 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and three blocks in 28 minutes. Center Walker Kessler also provided a spark with 14 points and 16 rebounds.
