Magic vs. Kings GAMEDAY Preview: How to Watch, Injury Report, Betting Odds /

In this story:

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic, fresh off a 121-115 loss to the Golden State Warriors, are back in action tonight as it faces the other Northern California team in the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings and Magic may as well be mirror images of one another.

The Kings, like the Magic, are also coming off a close loss last night. The Kings fell 111-104 to the Charlotte Hornets at home. Both teams also have 19 wins, but the Magic has one more loss than the Kings based on games played. The squads are also currently fifth in their respective conferences with teams breathing down their neck and a very feasible path to move up.

Tonight's game will shake some of that up.
