The Orlando Magic ( 15 - 11 ) defeated the Portland Trail Blazers ( 11 - 17 ) 102 - 94 on Friday . The Trail Blazers came into Friday 's contest with one of the worst defensive frontcourts in the NBA , surrendering a league - worst average of 22 points and 17 rebounds to opposing centers . This troubling trend for Portland was on full display Friday , with the Magic 's Nikola Vucevic tallying 25 points and 11 rebounds for his ninth double - double performance of the season . The Orlando center made a season - high 22 shot attempts , draining 12 of them for a solid 55 percentage from the field . Meanwhile , forward Tobias Harris pitched in with his own 25 - point double - double , and added 12 boards . Orlando completely dominated the contest down low , outscoring Portland by a resounding margin of 52 to 18 in the paint and outrebounding them 48 to 42 . Portland was led by a valiant effort from C.J . McCollum , who drained 11 of 19 shots on his way to a game - high 27 points . The third - year pro added six assists and a pair of rebounds . Backcourt mate Damian Lillard was solid as well , although he slogged through an atypical 4 - for - 15 shooting performance . Lillard did tally 19 points , but it was a total that was significantly supplemented by the nine free throw attempts that he successfully converted . Al-Farouq Aminiu had his most prolific scoring night in nearly two weeks with 16 points , an amount he reached with the help of a season - high four three - pointers . Allen Crabbe paced the Portland bench with the only other double - digit scoring effort on the team , amassing 14 points and adding four rebounds and an assist . The Trail Blazers fell to 11 - 17 and remain in fourth place in the Western Conference 's Northwest Division . They head to Miami to face the Heat on Sunday . In addition to Vucevic 's and Harris ' outstanding efforts , Orlando also enjoyed the benefit of a stat - sheet - stuffing evening from point guard Elfrid Payton . The second - year pro managed 19 points , six rebounds , three assists , a pair of steals and a block , while visiting the free throw line a season - high 17 times . Victor Oladipo was also outstanding off the bench , pouring 15 points and adding six assists , four rebounds , three steals and a block over a robust 35 minutes . The third - year pro was pressed into extended action after starting shooting guard Evan Fournier sustained a dislocated pinkie finger and thus was limited to only 22 minutes . The Magic improved to 15 - 11 and currently reside in third place in the Eastern Conference 's Southeast Division . They remain home for a date with the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday .
