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

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic looks to win the season series against their division rival Charlotte Hornets in tonight's game at the Spectrum Center.

The Magic won the first meeting back in October, but the Hornets pulled one out in November. Last month, the Magic beat the Hornets in Charlotte and will return to the Queen City for another win.

Earlier this week, LaMelo Ball fractured his ankle, knocking him out for the season and increasing the Magic's chances of winning tonight's matchup. Charlotte won five straight before Ball's injury, but lost Wednesday to the Phoenix Suns in Kevin Durant's debut with his new team.

Now, the Magic, fighting to keep its playoff hopes alive, look to throw another punch towards the Hornets.
