ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic (1-6) is back on the floor tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder (3-3).

The Magic is looking for its first road win, while the Thunder is trying to win its fourth consecutive game after dropping the first three contests on the schedule.

The biggest matchup of the night would have been No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero against No. 2 overall pick Chet Holmgren, but the latter suffered a foot injury during the summer and is out for the rest of the season.

That means Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Western Conference Player of the Week, takes center stage for Oklahoma City. Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 31 points over the first six games of the season for the Thunder.

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