Rookie guard Victor Oladipo outdueled his main competition for the Rookie of the Year Award, 76ers’ point guard Michael Carter Williams. Oladipo scored 17 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, dished out three assists, recorded two steals and had a huge block of a Thaddeus Young dunk attempt. Carter-Williams had eight points on three-of-13 shooting, six rebounds, four assists and three steals.

Tobias Harris and Maurice Harkless, who is starting for the Magic’s leading scorer, the injured Arron Afflalo, had 13 points apiece.

Young led the 76ers with 19 points.

The win improved the Magic to 18-42 while the 76ers fell to 15-43.
