Magic vs. Nuggets GAMEDAY Preview: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury Report /

The Orlando Magic (16-27) looks to bounce back from a difficult loss against the Utah Jazz as the team travels to Mile High to face the Denver Nuggets (29-13).

The Nuggets hold the best record in the Western Conference tied with the Memphis Grizzlies and are riding a five-game winning streak.

The Magic will certainly be tested tonight in its first meeting this season against two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokic. A win tonight would give the Magic a winning record on its five-game road trip before the team takes a four-day hiatus in its return back to Orlando.
