Trail Blazers vs. Magic GAMEDAY Preview: How to Watch, Betting Odds

The Orlando Magic faces off against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Las Vegas Summer League. Here's everything you need to know.

The Orlando Magic (0-3), fresh off an overtime loss against the New York Knicks, looks to grab its first Las Vegas Summer League win against the Portland Trail Blazers (2-1).

It remains to be seen how much lottery picks Anthony Black and Jett Howard will play for the rest of Summer League, especially coming off a back-to-back.

Howard is coming off his best performance in the Summer League so far, making 4 of 8 threes last night for a team-high 22 points.

If the Blazers play their rotation from their last game, the player with the most recognition is last year's No. 7 pick Shaedon Sharpe, who scored 26 points in Portland's win over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday.

However, as Summer League winds down, teams are beginning to rest their key players, so Sharpe's status, as well as Howard and Black's, is up in the air.

Players are still fighting for two-way spots and trying to make their mark, and anyone given an opportunity has a chance to rise to the occasion.

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