The Orlando Magic and the Atlanta Hawks will meet up in Orlando on Friday night where they will tussle for position in the Eastern Conference Playoff race.
The Orlando Magic are coming off a loss to the Washington Wizards this week, but they play a game on Friday that has a lot more meaning. They'll face the Atlanta Hawks in Orlando, the game starts at 7 pm and can be seen on FS Florida.
As of Friday morning, the Hawks and the Magic are tied for the fifth spot in the Playoffs with a 34-24 record.
