In this story:

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic's eight-game homestand continues tonight as Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans come to town.

It's the first of two meetings between the two teams this season. The Pelicans are the final team the Magic hasn't played this season so far.

Both teams are currently in fifth place in their respective conferences and hope to move up, so this is a key game for the Pelicans and Magic.
