Orlando Magic

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic hopes to grab a win in its final game of a four-game homestand against the in-state rival Miami Heat.

The Heat won both meetings between the two teams earlier in the season, so the Magic seek an opportunity to get revenge and inch closer to evening up the series.

The Heat is coming off a hard-fought win Friday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, so Miami could be out of gas in the second half of a back-to-back. Orlando needs to take advantage of that and come out of the gates hot if it wants to win this game.

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