The NBA Play-In Tournament reaches a critical juncture tonight, with the Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets battling for survival. The action tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET from Orlando, and here’s everything you need to know to catch the game.

Charlotte arrives with momentum after a dramatic overtime win against Miami, though the victory was marred by controversy following LaMelo Ball's play that sidelined Bam Adebayo. The Hornets have dominated the Magic recently, winning the last three meetings by an average of 20 points, and they've shown strong form on the road this season.

Orlando, meanwhile, is looking to salvage a season that has stumbled down the stretch. After a disappointing loss to Philadelphia in their first Play-In game—where star Paolo Banchero struggled—the Magic face immense pressure. They'll need to find their rhythm and speed against a confident Charlotte squad.

For viewers, the game will be broadcast nationally. You can catch all the pivotal moments as these teams fight to keep their playoff dreams alive.
