Wizards vs. Magic GAMEDAY Preview: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury Report /

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic (13-23) hopes to snap a two-game losing streak as its Southeast Division rival Washington Wizards (15-21) come to town.

It will be a challenge for the Magic to win Friday night after the fallout from Wednesday night's brawl that suspended nearly the entire team for at least one game. Tonight, three players are out due to injury while six are suspended, meaning the team has only eight healthy players for tonight's game.

Whether or not the suspensions handed out were fair doesn't matter anymore. The Magic simply has to play the game with the ramifications given.

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