In this story:

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic look to make it five straight wins tonight as they visit the Washington Wizards in the nation's capital.

The Magic and Wizards are trending in opposite directions. Orlando is fighting for a playoff spot while winning four in a row and six of seven since the All-Star Break.

Meanwhile, the Wizards have dropped 15 consecutive games and haven't won since Jan. 29 when they beat the San Antonio Spurs. The Wizards have just one win against a team currently in the playoff picture all year long, so beating the Magic would be quite an upset.

However, with the Magic playing in the second half of a back-to-back and the Wizards hungry for a win, Orlando can't get complacent as they look to move one step closer to the postseason.
