Orlando Magic

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic looks to build off a big win Thursday night as it faces the Sunshine State rival Miami Heat.

The Heat is coming off a back-to-back with the Houston Rockets, which gives the Magic a slight advantage coming into tonight's matchup.

It's an advantage if the Magic do something with it.

The Magic needs to start off hot and put its foot on the gas ... very different from how the team began the game against the Nuggets on the wrong side of a 12-0 run.

However, the Magic recovered nicely and grabbed a win. Let's see if the team can parlay that success into tonight's game.

Here's a look at the information you need to know for tonight's game ...
