ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Magic are back in the NBA Playoffs for the second straight year, and local fans can enjoy expert commentary from the hometown broadcast team that has called the action all season long on FanDuel Sports Network.

FanDuel Sports Network’s TV and streaming coverage of the Magic’s best-of-seven first-round series against the Boston Celtics begins with Game 2 on Wednesday, April 23.
