Kicking off their final week of the calendar year, the Orlando Magic get set to face off against their in-state rivals, the Miami Heat, for the first time during the regular season on Saturday night. Coming off another impressive victory on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets, the Magic have momentum on their side. A win against the Heat would put the Magic in first place in the Southeastern division, and move them up into a tie for the third seed in the Eastern Conference.
Game time is set for 7:00 PM at the Amway Center. The game can be seen on Fox Sports Florida, and heard on ESPN580 Orlando.
