The Orlando Magic visits the Houston Rockets tonight. Here's everything you need to know.
HOUSTON - The Orlando Magic hopes to start the final week of the regular season on the right foot as it begins a three-game road trip tonight against the Houston Rockets.
The two teams last met on Opening Night, where the Magic made a statement in a 30-point win in Orlando. The Rockets are looking to get revenge despite being officially eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday in a loss against the Dallas Mavericks.
A win for the Magic would keep the team in position to clinch a top-four seed in the Eastern Conference, which would award Orlando homecourt advantage for the first round of the postseason.
