What happened

Washington heads to Orlando on Monday after holding Charlotte to 79 points in an NBA Cup win, while the Wizards sit 3-3 and the Magic are 2-3.

The preview says Washington’s defense has improved sharply, and Orlando is considered hungry to bounce back after a uneven start and a 30-point loss to Toronto.
