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

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic is getting right back in the saddle in the second half of a back-to-back as the team travels to the midwest to face the Detroit Pistons.

The last time the two teams played came in the season opener, where the Pistons got the better of the Magic, but things look a little different going into this matchup.

Cade Cunningham is out after undergoing season-ending surgery on his left leg and the Pistons are eyeing next year's top draft pick Victor Wembanyama. The Magic was also on that wavelength with them, but Orlando hopes to perform slightly better than the bottom of the barrel.

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