The Orlando Magic must get back in the saddle after a crushing loss on Friday night to travel and face the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Paycom Center.

The Magic lost 99-96 on Friday night and played without four key rotation players. Tonight, they are down two more with Markelle Fultz and Joe Ingles not prepared to play on consecutive nights.

This means the short-handed and tired Magic will have to play the well-rested healthy Thunder, who won their last game by 62 points against the Portland Trail Blazers.

It certainly looks like a Thunder win on paper, especially considering they are 15-5 at home already this season. But Orlando has faced long odds before and come out on top ... they will have to do so again on Saturday.

Here's a look at everything you need to know ahead of tonight's game ...
