Orlando Magic will battle it out with the Toronto Raptors in a National Basketball Association (NBA) match on December 10.
 
This will be the 97th NBA meeting between the two sides in regular-season games since 1995 when Raptors were established.
 
The Raptors have dominated this rivalry having registered 54 wins compared to the Magic's 40 victories.

It was the Raptors, who emerged victorious in their last meeting between the teams with the match taking place on 4 December 2022 at the Scotiabank Arena.
 
O.G. Anunoby tied his season high with 32 points and the Raptors led virtually from tipoff en route to a 121-108 victory over the Magic.
 
The Magic are sitting in 15th place on the Eastern Conference standings having recorded just five victories and 19 defeats from 24 games.
 
While the Raptors are placed seventh on the Eastern Conference standings having registered 12 wins and 11 defeats from 23 matches.

The Raptors coach Nick Nurse was relieved to see his team turn the tide against the Magic having lost two matches in a row before the game.
 
"We talked about it before the game … we were talking about being a little more ready," Nurse said.
 
"We also addressed that maybe our offence needs to maybe get the ball moving a little bit more, and I thought we really did that tonight. All night long. 
 
"It just obviously created a lot better shots and a lot more cuts to the basket and things like that."
