Cavaliers vs. Magic Preview: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury Report
ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic face its final preseason game with the Cleveland Cavaliers coming to town.
In the final preseason game, head coach Jamahl Mosley faces a big decision. Does he play his team like he would in the regular season during the final tune-up before everything counts ... or does he dial it back and rest his starters to prevent injury before Wednesday's season opener against the Detroit Pistons?
There's arguments for both.
With a young team like the Magic, giving No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero some more run with players like Franz Wagner and Wendell Carter Jr. could be helpful.
However, the Magic experienced first-hand how injuries can change the whole team's dynamic. Last week, Jalen Suggs suffered a bone bruise and is out indefinitely.
Regardless of the route Mosley ends up taking, the excitement continues to build for the new season.
Here's a look at the information you need to know for tonight ...
