The Orlando Magic ( 12 - 9 ) bounced back from having their five - game win streak snapped by the Clippers , defeating the struggling Denver Nuggets ( 8 - 14 ) by a score of 85 - 74 . The Magic were able to withstand disappointing performances from starters Evan Fournier , who was held scoreless until he hit a single three - pointer late in the fourth quarter , and Channing Frye , who failed to score a point . With Fournier having an off - night , newly - implemented sixth man Victor Oladipo shouldered much of the load at shooting guard , playing 33 minutes and recording 11 points , three rebounds , three assists , and a mightily impressive four blocks . Orlando 's defense was the true story of the night , as they held Denver to just 34 percent from the field . The stingy Magic defense also forced 17 turnovers . Their domincance on the defensive end made up for a rather lackluster offensive night , as the team shot only 43 percent and hit just one three - pointer . Denver 's night was marked by the total inability to score the ball , particularly in the second half , where the Nuggets scored just 27 points over two quarters . There seemed to be a lid on the basket for Denver , as only three players cracked double - digits for scoring , and rising sixth man Will Barton ( 23 points , four rebounds , four steals ) was the only player who scored over 13 . While Barton provided a bright spot in a game - high 38 minutes off the bench , it seemed Denver could not manage to develop an offensive rhythm . Rookie Emmanuel Mudiay also continued to struggle , turning the ball over five times in just 22 minutes while scoring only six points and recording just four assists . Overall , Tuesday was a night the Nuggets would like to forget . They will hope to put it behind them as they take on the Timberwolves on Friday . Meanwhile , the surging Magic will face the second half of a back - to - back on Wednesday as they face the Suns in Orlando .
