ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic and Chicago Bulls are in for a rematch on Friday night, this time under the bright lights of the In-Season Tournament.

The two teams will play on the really, really, really red court and the Magic hopes to get its second win in as many games. Orlando won 96-94 on Wednesday night after Paolo Banchero controversially scored the game-winning shot with seconds to go. It was revealed in the two-minute report that Banchero should have been called for a travel on the play.

Tonight, the Bulls will look to get revenge, but they may be without DeMar DeRozan, who is questionable to play for personal reasons. Chicago will also sit Dalen Terry, who is nursing a knee injury. The Magic will be without point guard Markelle Fultz (knee) and former Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (hand).
