Tonight at 7 p.m. EST the Orlando Magic (13-23) will square off against the Washington Wizards (6-28). This will be their third meeting of the season, with each team taking a victory on their home court. The Magic are contending with a better Wizards squad than they faced earlier in the season, with the return of John Wall. They are on a two game winning streak, their longest of the season.
Magic fans received some good news this week. Glen Davis, Al Harrington, and E'Twaun Moore have all returned to practice. Hopefully, this means that their returns are imminent. In the meantime, the Magic are coming off of a much-needed win against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Magic veterans are showing that they can carry the team and rookies DeQuan Jones and Maurice Harkless are showing that they can contribute, as well. Second-year standout, Nic Vucevic, is taking a lot of the sting out of losing All-Star center, Dwight Howard.
The Wizards are finally starting to find a groove. It may so...

The schedule is never an excuse for a loss. Everyone plays whatever the schedule makers give them whether they want to or not. The schedule does not care if you had to travel 2,668 miles a few days earlier. When the schedule says you play, you play.
It cannot be used as an excuse -- each game still counts the same and each game starts at 0-0 with the chance to win in the next...

Two things happened last night for the Washington Wizards that had not happened all season -- and both of them were good. First, point guard John Wall made his season debut after missing the first 33 games of the season with a stress injury to his knee.
