The Orlando Magic had their six-game winning streak snapped on Monday night. Western Conference has more injuries, such as Steph Curry's shoulder injury and Anthony Davis's foot injury.

Kevin Durant and the Nets have been winning nine of their last 10 games. New Orleans has dropped four consecutive games, but is still in contention for the No. 1 spot in Western Conference.
