The Orlando Magic (18 - 39) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans (27 - 27) 95 - 84 on Friday.

Fournier finished with a plus - 19 plus/minus to go along with 16 points, six rebounds and three assists. Elfrid Payton began the post All-Star break on a good note. He posted a double - double, finishing with 10 points on four - of - seven shooting, 11 assists and seven rebounds. The Magic have now won three out of their last five games. Orlando will take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. New Orleans dropped back down to .500 after their less - than - stellar performance in their loss to Orlando. Tyreke Evans nearly posted a triple - double from the point guard position. He led the Pelicans with 14 points and 10 assists to go along with eight rebounds. Anthony Davis was held to just 13 points. He has been dealing with a shoulder injury.
