ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic (11-21) is looking to get back in the win column tonight against the struggling Houston Rockets (9-21).

The Magic saw its six-game win streak snapped Monday night in a one-point loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Meanwhile, the Rockets have lost three straight games after beating the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns in back-to-back contests.

The Rockets hope they can find the same success they had in the first meeting of the season series on Nov. 7, where Houston won 134-127 in Orlando by shooting lights out.
