Magic open preseason Monday night against Hawks

The game tonight isn't televised, but if you have a ticket, you'll get a chance to see newcomers Mickael Pietrus, Anthony Johnson, and rookie Courtney Lee probably get considerable playing time for the Magic. Tony Battie should also see action for the first time since missing all of last season with a shoulder injury.

Even J.J. Redick and his new muscular physique should get a lot of playing time.

Former Magic SG Maurice Evans, who did a nice job with the Magic last season after being acquired in a trade with the Lakers, makes his Atlanta debut.

Game time is at 7, with the wrap-up here on the blog afterwards.
