Mike DiRenzo

The Orlando Magic will try to win their 7th game in 7 preseason tries tonight when they host the struggling, banged-up (see below) Indiana Pacers. Wait, scratch that first bit: the Magic are much more concerned with simply playing better than they are with padding their preseason stats, as Tania Ganguli wrote in today's Orlando Sentinel.

Eddy will cover the game live from Amway Arena tonight.

Josh Robbins reports that Matt Barnes will start at power forward for the Magic tonight, but not to read too deeply into it, as Ryan Anderson and Brandon Bass are more likely to start at that position once the regular season starts.

The Pacers have five players out this evening: Travis Diener, Mike Dunleavy, T.J. Ford, Jeff Foster, and Tyler Hansbrough are all likely to sit tonight with various ailments, reports Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star.

Any links?

Don’t see it on the list on ATDHE.net. Is Indiana broadcasting it?

Don't think so.

It's not on any of the League Pass stations, so I'm thinking there will be no television/link for it

Dwight's FTs

Okay, I really hope during the regular season somebody can point back to this post and say, “See, Dwight’s free throws are so much improved. You shouldn’t have worried since it was only the preseason.”

He’s getting worse!!

(I reserve the right to repost this in the post-game thread. :>) )

If missing free throws is sexy then Dwight would be Jessica Alba
