Coming off a letdown performance against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night, the Orlando Magic return to action following Thanksgiving against the Washington Wizards.
Meeting the Wizards for the second time this season, Friday night marks the first retread game of the year for Orlando, with the Magic having narrowly escaped the Wizards in their first meeting earlier this month. This time it won't be as easy for the Magic, who will have to face John Wall, something they avoided in the first meeting between the Southeast Division foes. The Magic have turned this around defensively since their first meeting, posting the seventh best defensive rating in the league, but have been atrocious offensively, posting the worst offensive rating.
Game time is set for 7:00 PM at the Amway Center. The game can be seen on FoxSports Florida, and heard on ESPN 580 Orlando.
