ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic begins its final week of the NBA season with a three-game homestand, which kicks off tonight against the league-worst Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons are eyeing the No. 1 pick in the draft, but the Magic still has a small chance at cracking the play-in tournament. Orlando needs to win at least four of its final five games to have a shot at playing bonus basketball and hope that the Chicago Bulls lose at least four of their last five while also hoping the Washington Wizards and Indiana Pacers fail to reach 38 wins (both currently at 34).

Here's a look at the information you need to know for tonight's game ...
