After being questionable during the initial injury report, Orlando Magic point guard Markelle Fultz is going to play tonight when they face Atlanta in Mexico City. 

Fultz missed the last game against the Dallas Mavericks, but he will return tonight against the Hawks. Not only is Fultz back, but he is in the starting lineup. 

The Orlando Magic are off to a good start this season and share the same record as the Hawks at 4-3. After spending some time in the NBA Lottery and building up their roster, the Magic appear ready to make a run at the play-in tournament or maybe even a top-six seed.

This is going to be a clash of offense vs defense tonight. Atlanta boasts one of the top offenses in the NBA and they still have room to improve. Star point guard Trae Young has gotten off to a slow start shooting the basketball and the Hawks are still not hitting the number of three-pointers that they would like to yet.

On the other end, Orlando has one of the NBA's top defenses and they have guards that can give the Hawks backcourt of Young and Dejounte Murray plenty of trouble. 2nd-year player Paolo Banchero is a potential superstar in the making and Franz Wagner is one of the most underrated players in the NBA. This is a team that has a lot of young talent and the Hawks are going to be tested tonight.
