Magic vs. Hawks Preview: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury Report

The Orlando Magic looks to bounce back from its opening night loss against the Atlanta Hawks. Here's everything you need to know before Friday's matchup.

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic (0-1) looks to grab its first win of the season against the Atlanta Hawks (1-0) on the road.

The game marks the first NBA meeting between No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero and Dejounte Murray, who had a bit of a "scuffle" over the summer at a Pro-Am league game in their hometown of Seattle.

Banchero shined in his NBA debut on Wednesday, scoring 27 points, grabbing nine rebounds and dishing out five assists. He became the first rookie to record 25-5-5 in his NBA debut since LeBron James in 2003. Banchero would like to see his encore performance end in the one thing he didn't have in his first game ... a win.
