Orlando's last time out: The Magic built a 19-point lead on the road against the Charlotte Bobcats, the league's worst team, on Wednesday, but squandered it by allowing Charlotte's 28th-ranked offense to score 94 points over the final three periods. Orlando got career-bests from Tobias Harris (29 points and six assists), Kyle O`Quinn (13 points, six assists), and DeQuan Jones (13 points), but simply couldn't defend the likes of Kemba Walker and Gerald Henderson (34 points apiece).
Washington's last time out: The Oklahoma City Thunder drilled the Wizards, 103-80, on Wednesday, outscoring the visitors in every quarter. John Wall scored 18 points for the Wizards, but missed 15 of his 18 shots. Overall, Washington shot 32.1 percent and committed 15 turnovers.
