The Orlando Magic is back in action tonight in the second preseason game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at RocketMortgage FieldHouse.

The Magic took care of business in the preseason opener against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night and the team will look to continue building momentum as the season nears closer.

It remains to be seen if coach Jamahl Mosley will make any changes to the rotation or starting lineup, which featured Markelle Fultz, Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr.

Players like rookie Anthony Black, Cole Anthony and veteran Gary Harris could be swapped into the starting five to give Mosley a chance to see a different configuration.

The Magic is looking to go from lottery mainstay to annual contender, much like the Cavs have done in their rebuild for the past two years.

"When you look at Memphis with Cleveland, you look at those kinds of those kinds of teams who weren't necessarily the best teams in the league, you know, two or three years ago now they're like, guaranteed to be in the playoffs every year," Carter Jr. said. "So like that's something I want to help this team doing."

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