In this story:


ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic (24-35) returns from the All-Star Break in hopes to make a push towards the playoffs facing the Detroit Pistons (15-44) tonight at home.

The Magic won four of its last seven games before the All-Star Break and sits four games back of the final play-in spot.

With just 23 games left to go on the schedule, the Magic's room for error is razor thin. Games like tonight that are winnable at home against an inferior opponent are crucial, but the Magic has struggled this season against the Pistons, losing the first two meetings between them this season.

Tonight, there needs to be change in order for the Magic to truly take their playoff hopes seriously.

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