ORLANDO, Fla. – After splitting their road trip this past week, the Orlando Magic return home for a quick pit stop versus the Utah Jazz. Tipoff Sunday evening is set for 6:30 p.m. from the Kia Center.

Orlando, sitting at 21-15, comes in after a relatively comfortable victory over the Toronto Raptors north of the border Friday night. But the Magic will be without its top four scorers due to injury in taking on the visiting Jazz.

Utah will also be on the second night of a back-to-back, getting the second leg of the Miami-Orlando double-header that's common of teams visiting the Sunshine State. The Jazz beat the Heat by 36 points at the Kaseya Center Saturday.

This is the first of two meetings between the squads this season.
