In this story:

The Orlando Magic is back in action tonight hoping to rebound after Friday's loss as the team returns home to face the Chicago Bulls.

The Magic eyes a season series sweep over the Bulls tonight after winning the previous three meetings, but if those games have any indication for how the game will go, a close contest is coming.

Back in mid-November, the Magic beat the Bulls twice in three days by a combined eight points. Then the Magic beat the Bulls in overtime in Orlando back in February.

While the Bulls are locked into the 9/10 Play-In game against the Atlanta Hawks, they want to build momentum for that game while the Magic can grab the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference playoff picture with a victory.
