Toronto Visits Orlando, Tuesday 7:00

Tuesday night the Raptors fly to Orlando to face the team that eliminated them from the 2008 playoffs. The game is available for view on the Score, and for listening on the Fan 590. You can also watch online with channelsurfing.net.

What to watch for:
- In the Raptors vs. Magic series in the postseason of 2008, the Raptors could not find any way to contain Dwight Howard. With the addition of Jermaine O'Neal, how will the Raptors fare in keeping Dwight off of the boards?
- Last game Bosh and O'Neal were huge, posting a combined 38 points and 25 rebounds. Hopefully we can see this production again.
- Jose Calderon's official status is "day-to-day". He will be a game-time decision in Orlando.
- Against the Heat, Sam Mitchell elected to add Andrea Bargnani to the starting lineup. He played well, and allowed Kris Humphries to greatly contribute in limited minutes. Will Sam keep Bargs in the starting 5?

The Magic currently sit atop the Southeast division with a record of 7-3. This game can give the Raptors the statement win they have been looking for all season.
