In this story:

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic returns to central Florida for an eight-game homestand that begins tonight against the Toronto Raptors.

The Magic are quite familiar with the Raptors, who they last played on Friday night in Toronto. The Magic pulled out a 113-103 win for their 39th victory of the season.

In order to get that milestone 40th win, they have to take care of business against the Raptors once again. Toronto is at a severe handicap, playing without starters Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl. However, the Magic won't take the challenge lightly and they'll hope to grab another win against the Raptors.
