ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic (4-3) is back in action after two days off as it takes on the Southeast Division rival Atlanta Hawks (4-3).

While both teams play in the Southeast, tonight's game won't even be played in the United States. Instead, this game is part of the NBA's International Series and will be played at Arena CDMX in Mexico City.

“With the Magic having been to London twice, Japan, China, Brazil and Mexico City previously, we love representing the NBA and the City of Orlando when we have the opportunity to play in these Global Games," Magic CEO Alex Martins said in a press release this summer. "We’ve had the opportunity to be in Mexico City before, and we know the passion of the fans and are really looking forward to bringing our team back to Mexico City to play.”

Tonight's game marks the 32nd in Mexico City in league history and the fourth trip for the Magic to the city.
