The Washington Wizards suffered their 16th consecutive loss, tying a franchise record, after the Orlando Magic rallied from a 21-point deficit to win. At one point, the Wizards were up by 19 points, but the Magic's remarkable comeback is noted as their biggest in nearly a decade, matching previous comebacks against Philadelphia and Cleveland. The Magic's victory was fueled by Deni Avdija, Kyle Kuzma, and Jordan Poole, who together scored 65 points, helping to complete the 21-point comeback and keep their losing streak alive at 16 in a row. This win also extends the Magic's recent performance to 13-3 over their last 16 games. On the betting side, a hypothetical $100 bet on Washington's opponents since the start of their losing streak would have yielded only $1,600, with the Wizards being double-digit underdogs in 11 of these 16 games.
