Magic vs. Mavericks Preview: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury Report
In this story:
ORLANDO - Less than 24 hours after overcoming a 19-point deficit against the San Antonio Spurs, the Orlando Magic is back in action facing the Dallas Mavericks in the second half of a preseason back-to-back.
Given the fact that the team played last night, it's difficult to tell who will play for the Magic tonight and for how long.
A back-to-back is built in the preseason to prepare teams for the real thing during the season, but injuries become a real risk when playing so much in a short period of time ... especially when players aren't back to their full form yet.
So we may not see every important player play for the Magic tonight, but it's always exciting to see Orlando take the court ... even if it is just an exhibition game.
Here's a look at the information you need to know for tonight ...
