These are two teams playing well below expectations and it was n't pretty on either side . Both teams shot below 40 percent from the field and below 37 percent from three - point range . Terrence Jones had one of his best games of the season , as he scored 26 points and grabbed nine boards , filling in for Anthony Davis . Without Davis in the lineup , New Orleans lost almost every game last season and it 's clear they have no offense with him out of the lineup . Nikola Vucevic was a beast down low , as he scored 10 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in the win . Elfrid Payton 's five points on 2 - of - 9 shooting looks ugly , but he stuffed the stat sheet by adding four rebounds , four assists , three steals and two blocks . There were only three ties and 10 lead changes , as the Magic led for the majority of the game . The host Orlando Magic defeated the New Orleans Pelicans , 89 - 82 , at Amway Center on Wednesday . In a battle between two struggling teams , the Magic prevailed with a much needed win . Orlando held New Orleans to just 36 percent shooting from the field and forced them to commit 17 turnovers in their win . Orlando was n't much better though , as they shot 39 percent from the field and 58 percent from the free - throw line . The Magic also dominated in the lane , as they scored 38 paint points to the Pelicans ' 26 . The Pelicans ( 2 - 10 ) had to play this game without Anthony Davis ( thigh ) and it clearly hurt their offense . Terrence Jones started for Davis though and carried the load , as he scored a game - high 26 points on 9 - of - 20 shooting . The only other starter in double figures was E'Twaun Moore , who tallied 14 points , three rebounds and four assists . Langston Galloway was a nice spark off the bench , scoring 15 points on 6 - of - 12 shooting . Omer Asik had a strange line , as he grabbed 10 rebounds , but failed to record another stat . The Pelicans will return to action on Friday when they host the Portland Trail Blazers for their next game . The Magic ( 5 - 7 ) have gotten off to a historically bad start offensively this season , but they were able to pull out a win here , thanks to some elite defense . Six players scored in double figures for the Magic , with Serge Ibaka and Evan Fournier tying the team lead with 16 a piece . Ibaka added eight rebounds to his 16 points and Fournier dished out three assists . Elfird Payton scored just five points , but provided four rebounds , four assists , three steals and two blocks in the victory . Nikola Vucevic recorded a double - double , totaling 10 points and 14 rebounds . D.J . Augustin and Damjan Rudez each scored 11 points off the bench . Jeff Green had a game to forget , as he went scoreless on 0 - of - 9 shooting . Orlando will look to keep rolling against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday .
