Tonight, the Delaware Blue Coats (14-7) are slated to take on the Lakeland Magic (7-14) in the second of a two-game series between the Eastern Conference rivals.
In their first meeting on Tuesday, the Coats escaped with a 128-118 victory to give them their fourteenth win of the season. Tonight, they look to continue their recent momentum and complete the regular season sweep over the Magic in an attempt to improve to 15-7 on the year.
The Blue Coats are 8-2 in their previous ten games, having won their last two, and looking to extend their winning streak.
Braxton Key led the team in scoring last game with 26 points, and Delaware has a roster loaded with guards who can take over from beyond the three-point arc. Shaquille Harrison and Myles Powell may find themselves with many open looks if the Magic decide to focus their defense on Key.
Charles Bassey will be looking to continue his G League dominance down in the paint; on Tuesday, he grabbed 8 total rebounds, blocked 5 shots, and posted 21 points on 10-13 shooting.
Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
