Nov. 13: @ Golden State Warriors
Dec. 1: vs. Golden State Warriors

The Magic will be playing the defending champion Golden State Warriors twice within 30 days. When the Warriors come to Orlando, December will have just begun and that has proven to be a pivotal point for the Magic of late.

The reason to look forward to this game is pretty obvious. Golden State features so much talent on their roster. Fans only get to witness these players once or twice a year. It is a special treat, even though it might not end well for the Magic.

The Warriors offseason was a quiet one. The core will be returning and the Warriors will yet again be favorites to return to the NBA Finals.

With Stephen Curry and his band of All-Stars, the Magic have lost the last eight matchups against the defending champions. Odds are Orlando will not be able to beat Golden State, but the hype heading into both of these games will be phenomenal.

In recent years, the Magic have struggled in the month of December and playing the Warriors on the first does not bode well to start the month. The Magic have an easy stretch after Golden State, but getting a win here would be massive.
