Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic start off this season with fresh new balls after the departure of Dwight Howard and Stan Van Gundy, and with the arrival of new head coach Jacque Vaughn and 10 other Magic roster newbies. Seasoned vets like Hedo Turkoglu and J.J. Redick should lead the way as the Magic kick off the regular season on an even keel by hosting the Denver Nuggets (Nov. 2), before moving on to recently relocated and re-named Brooklyn Nets
(Nov. 9, Nov. 30) and stronger opponents including Kevin Garnett and the Boston Celtics (Nov. 25).
The following home games all take place at the Amway Center, 400 W. Church St.; various prices; 407-896-2442; orlandomagic.com.
