ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic (13-24) look to start the new year on the right foot against the Oklahoma City Thunder (16-21).

The Magic hope to tie the season series after the Thunder beat Orlando at home on Nov. 1. Orlando held a massive late lead, but Oklahoma City pulled off an incredible come-from-behind win to sting the Magic. Orlando certainly wants revenge.

Meanwhile, the Thunder are coming into Orlando red hot. The Thunder posted 150 points last night in its win at home against the NBA-best Boston Celtics. Will their momentum run through the Magic's four-day rest, or will the Thunder's tank run out of gas?

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