ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic hopes to continue its hot start tonight at home when the Washington Wizards come to town.

The two teams coming into today's game could not be going in more opposite directions. The Wizards just snapped a nine-game losing streak after beating the Detroit Pistons, who have now lost 13 games in a row. Meanwhile, the Magic has won seven straight and finds itself with the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

It's still early, but Orlando hopes to parlay its good start and continue playing well. After not qualifying for the knockout round of the In-Season Tournament despite a 3-1 record, the Magic could be looking to get its frustration out on whoever is in its path. And for tonight, that just so happens to be the Wizards.

Markelle Fultz and Wendell Carter Jr. are still out for the Magic with injuries.
