REDEMPTION: Orlando Magic Target Detroit Pistons Rematch to ERASE Playoff Demons Early

The Orlando Magic got their first slate of games announced as they know their path in the NBA Cup.

It features a huge game against the Detroit Pistons to close their group play. A game that will likely be the Pistons' first visit to Orlando since the infamous Game 6 in May.

For the Magic, they need to exorcize their demons and prove that they have put Game 6 behind them. It is their only way to move forward and make the most of their upcoming season. It is also key for building confidence early in the season so they can move forward and make a deeper playoff run.

That is also a reason why the NBA Cup still matters for the Magic. It is a chance to test their new coach and their buy-in and gain confidence and proof of concept of what they are trying to do early in the season.

The Magic also announced their new TV home. And it is very good news for fans.
