Timberwolves vs. Magic GAMEDAY Preview: How to Watch, Injury Report, Betting Odds

The Orlando Magic hosts the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at the Kia Center. Here's everything you need to know.

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic hopes to keep its winning streak going tonight, but it comes with a big test against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who currently sit atop the Western Conference standings.

The Wolves have several ways they can beat you, whether it be their scalding defense or an offensive masterclass from Anthony Edwards, Minnesota has built the strongest record in the West.

While the Magic is unafraid of anybody that stands on the other side of the court, Orlando comes into this game still very shorthanded - down five potential rotation players. Perhaps the team can pull off another upset ... but it will need another superhuman effort from Paolo Banchero, who has scored 30 or more points in each of the last three games.
