Magic vs. Heat GAMEDAY Preview: How to Watch, Injury Report, Betting Odds
The Orlando Magic returns to the floor tonight with their second meeting of the season against the Miami Heat.
The Heat beat the Magic 115-106 in Miami on Dec. 20, but Orlando seeks revenge and a chance to even the season series with a win tonight.
The Magic are getting some reinforcements with the return of Joe Ingles, who has been out since Dec. 15 nursing a sprained ankle. He'll add some much needed playmaking to the bench for a Magic team in need of some help. Franz Wagner, Wendell Carter Jr., Gary Harris and Jonathan Isaac remain out with their respective injuries.
For the Heat, the team will likely be without Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry, while Tyler Herro is questionable to play.
