In this story:


ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic, fresh off a tough loss at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers, will complete its first back-to-back of the season tonight when the team takes on the Los Angeles Clippers, who made quite a splash in the early hours of Halloween.

At approximately 2 a.m. on the east coast, about an hour after the Magic finished its game against the Lakers, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Clippers had acquired long-time trade target James Harden in a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Here's a look at the trade ...

PHI receives: Marcus Morris, Nic Batum, Robert Covington, K.J. Martin, 2028 unprotected draft pick, two second-round picks, pick swap

LAC receive: James Harden, PJ Tucker, Filip Petrusev

The players won't be available tonight against the Magic, meaning the Clippers are coming into tonight's game against Orlando very short-handed. On top of the four players the team traded being out, Los Angeles won't have Terance Mann and Brandon Boston Jr. tonight due to injuries. Ivica Zubac is also questionable with a quad injury.

While the Magic may be running on fumes after a late-night loss on Monday, the team could take advantage against a short-handed Clippers squad.

Here's a look at everything you need to know ahead of tonight's game ...
