How to watch the Orlando Magic vs. New Orleans Pelicans game on Friday, November 8th

ORLANDO, Fla. – On Friday night, the Orlando Magic will return from five winless road games and celebrate a five-game homestand by welcoming the New Orleans Pelicans. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET at the Kia Center.

The Magic fell 118-111 on Wednesday night after rallying from an 18-point deficit to take the lead and cut two separate 11-point leads to two. Orlando started the trip 0-5 and is now 3-6, but showed signs of progress in brief periods. Now they hope to turn it into victories.

The first chance to do so comes against the Pelicans, who lost to the undefeated Cavaliers by nine points on Wednesday evening. Similarly battered and battered as the Magic, New Orleans had some unfortunate luck with injuries after an offseason that may have put them in a better position to compete better in the vaunted Western Conference this season.
