ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic faces elimination tonight as the team hosts the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first contest of a two-game series at Amway Center.

The Magic has won two straight and need to win its final four games to have a chance to qualify for the play-in tournament. In addition, the Chicago Bulls need to lose all four of their remaining games. A loss or a Bulls win against the Atlanta Hawks tonight would eliminate the Magic from postseason contention.

Meanwhile, the Cavs are seeking their 50th win of the season and are still possibly holding out hope to clinch the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference as they sit 2.5 games back of the Philadelphia 76ers for the spot.
