In this story:

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic play their first game at home since the All-Star Break as they welcome the Brooklyn Nets to town.

The Nets snapped a four-game skid last night after a road win against the Memphis Grizzlies, and they'll look to get their second victory in as many nights against the Magic tonight.

Meanwhile, the Magic are 2-1 since the All-Star Break after their road trip, but now they return home. Orlando is 18-8 at the Kia Center so far this season.
