The Wizards (15-38) (1-25 V) have lost eight of their last ten games including one win away from home. The Wizards won for only the second time in 11 tries Sunday, beating lowly Cleveland 115-100 for its first road win this season. They broke their 25 game losing skid. Nick Young scored 31 points and John Wall added 19 and 14 assists. Andray Blatche added 17 points and a team-high nine boards, and Josh Howard scored 16 points after missing the previous 19 games with a sore left knee. A victory may prove to be more difficult in Orlando, where the Wizards have lost five of six and won nine of 43 all-time. Rashard Lewis will miss his third straight game with a sore right knee. Wednesday would have marked his first trip back to Orlando since being traded for Gilbert Arenas on Dec. 18.
The Magic (35-21) (20-8 H) have dropped five of ten and two of their last five on home court. They are coming off arguably their biggest win of the season, beating the Los Angeles Lakers 89-75 on Sunday. Dwight Howard had 31 points and 13 rebounds for Orlando, which had lost its previous eight games against teams with a winning record. The biggest contribution came from Howard, who had his 14th straight double-double and is averaging 24.8 points and 16.1 rebounds while shooting 63.6 percent during that stretch. "The way we played (Sunday) is the way we have to play if we want to be considered a great team," Howard said. "If we continue to do that, there's no doubt in my mind we have what it takes to win a championship." Howard has posted a double-double in all three wins against the Wizards this season, including 22 points and 15 rebounds in a 110-92 victory Feb. 4 in the teams' last meeting.
