The Orlando Magic try to get their first win of the season as they host the scorching hot Minnesota Timberwolves in a critical early game.

The Orlando Magic conclude their season-opening homestand by hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 23, 2026, ahead of a three-game road trip. Both teams feature star players coming off historic season-opening performances, with Anthony Edwards scoring 45 points for Minnesota and Paolo Banchero posting 35 points and 10 assists on over 80 percent shooting for Orlando.
