Thunder-Magic Preview

An active offseason seemed to put the Orlando Magic in prime position to repeat as Eastern Conference champions. Not being able to keep their key players on the court, however, could be a major obstacle.

With Jameer Nelson sidelined with a knee injury, the Magic look to overcome their latest absence and avenge their worst loss of the young season Wednesday night when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder.

After making the second trip to the NBA finals in franchise history in June, Orlando (8-3) made a blockbuster trade to bring in Vince Carter in the offseason. The Magic also got Ryan Anderson in that deal and signed Matt Barnes, Jason Williams and Brandon Bass to add depth to the team that lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in five games.

While that depth has helped early, the Magic could struggle to live up to long-term expectations if they can't keep their top players on the court. Rashard Lewis missed the first 10 games because of a league suspension, Carter and Anderson each missed four with ankle injuries, and Bass and Marcin Gortat have missed one apiece because of illnesses.

Nelson's absence could have an even bigger impact. Nelson, who is Orlando's top playmaker and one of its emotional leaders on and off the court, will have arthroscopic surgery Wednesday to repair torn cartilage in his left knee - an injury suffered in a 97-91 win over Charlotte on Monday.

He's expected to miss four to six weeks.

"I just informed Rashard about my knee a few minutes ago and he was just saying how we can't catch a break right now as a team," Nelson, a first-time All-Star last season, told the Magic's official Web site. "I just told him and the other guys that things like this happen and we'll weather the storm just fine."

Orlando has two veteran backup point guards in Williams and Anthony Johnson. Williams will start against the Thunder, and Nelson is confident both players will be able to contribute.

"Those two guys have been around a long time and know how to play this game," he said. "J-Will has won a championship and knows what he's doing, and A.J. has just what it takes to keep this team rolling."

Regardless of who starts, the Magic could have a tough time against the Thunder, who won the teams' first meeting 102-74 on Nov. 8. Kevin Durant had 28 points, and Russell Westbrook added 17 and 10 assists as Oklahoma City shot 57.1 percent from the field to snap a seven-game losing streak in the series.

Carter, Lewis and Anderson missed that game for the Magic.

The win over Orlando was the start of a 4-2 stretch for Oklahoma City (6-5), which continued its strong play with a 100-87 win over Miami on Tuesday. Durant had 32 points, nine rebounds and five assists, and Westbrook added 24 points and seven assists as the Thunder won their third straight on the road.

"We're getting better every game," Westbrook said.

Oklahoma City had 32 losses before it got its sixth win last season. It took the team just 11 games to reach six wins in 2009-10.

"We wanted to start off playing basketball that our fans could be proud of," coach Scott Brooks said. "We are creating an identity of playing winning basketball."

Oklahoma City has lost nine of 11 in Orlando, however, including five straight by an average of 13.6 points. Durant has averaged 13.0 points and shot 29.0 percent in two career road games against the Magic.

Magic gain revenge, silence Thunder in rout

ORLANDO (NBA.com exclusive) -- The time will come when Jameer Nelson's absence will hurt the Orlando Magic. It might come as soon as Friday night at Boston.

It did not come Wednesday night.

Playing a few hours after arthroscopic surgery on his left knee took Nelson out of the lineup for a while, the Magic spanked the Oklahoma City Thunder, 108-94.

Vince Carter had a big first half and Rashard Lewis came one assist short of his first triple-double for the Magic (9-3). Jason Williams filled in adequately for Nelson, getting the Magic running early.

"J-Will has always been a guy who has really pushed on the break," noted Magic coach Stan Van Gundy. "Jameer likes to push and attack, but he's not the same as J-Will. J-Will does that a little better than Jameer and Jameer does a lot of other things better. They're different guys and you play to their strengths."

James Harden came off the bench with a game-high 24 points for the Thunder. Kevin Durant, who came into the game with a 28.5 scoring average, was held to 12 points, mostly by Mickael Pietrus.

Wednesday night's game was a reverse of the Thunder's 102-74 victory over the Magic in Oklahoma City on Nov. 8.

"The Magic missed a lot of shots at our place," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "They also had two of their players out with Rashard Lewis and Vince Carter. They are All-Star players and they make a difference. They have a terrific coach and he had them ready to play.

From the start, they pounced on us and took advantage of our team being a step slow."

Aside from their one-sided victory against the Magic, the young Thunder (6-6) had also defeated San Antonio and Miami, the latter a 13-point road victory on Tuesday night.

"I don't want to blame it on that (the back-to-back)," Durant said.

"They came out with a lot of energy and we didn't. They executed and capitalized on that. You have to tip your hat to a great team. I see why they are picked to win the East again; you can't guard them."

While Dwight Howard sat out most of the first half in foul trouble, the Magic came out smoking.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by Carter lifted them to a 53-33 lead in the middle of the second quarter, at which time they were shooting 65 percent (22-for-34).

Lewis' final jumper left the Magic with an 88-58 lead after three quarters. He didn't play in the fourth quarter. The 14-point final margin is as close as the Thunder got.

Williams, starting on his 34th birthday in place of Nelson, played a quiet game except for a third-quarter sequence in which he set up Lewis for a 3-pointer with a perfect behind-the-back pass, then hit Pietrus in the corner for another three.

"I'm not approaching this any different," said Williams, whose last start came before spending the last year in retirement. "I still want to win and I still have to be a nail for us defensively on certain rotations.

"I still have to knock down open shots, the same way I did when I was coming off the bench. I'm not changing my plan. My job is still the same, even if it is more minutes."

Williams finished with four points and five assists in 28 1/2 minutes.

"Having so many options does make my job a lot easier. I just have to get them the ball how they like it," he said. "I've said from Day One that this team has a lot more talent than the (Miami) championship team that I played on in '06. But we still have to go play the games and do things the right way.''

The Magic started their eighth different lineup in 12 games.

Nelson, who missed most of the second half of last season while recovering from surgery on a torn labrum, learned Tuesday that he had a torn meniscus in his left knee. He is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, but hopes to return sooner.

"I just told him to stay away from the Twinkies and sit back and enjoy the show," said Anthony Johnson, who is now Orlando's backup point guard.
