ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic head north of the border to take on the Toronto Raptors tonight at Scotiabank Arena.

It's the first contest of a two-game set between the two teams that will conclude on Sunday in Orlando.

The Magic are back in the win column after beating the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, and they have a strong opportunity to stay there against the Raptors tonight.

The Raptors are missing several key players, including All-Star forward Scottie Barnes. The team has also lost five consecutive games, including their most recent against the struggling Detroit Pistons.

This is the team's final road game until early April, so a win here could give the team a lot of momentum going into the long homestand.
