Orlando (0-2) at Washington (2-0), 7:00 pm EST

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- The Washington Wizards can get off to their best start in 27 years when they host the Orlando Magic on Saturday.

The Wizards have not started 3-0 since the 1978-79 season - the last time the franchise reached the NBA Finals.

Washington was carried by its All-Stars in Friday's 86-75 triumph at New York. Gilbert Arenas scored 11 of his 27 points in the first quarter as the Wizards built a 32-13 advantage. Antawn Jamison scored 11 of his 20 in the fourth period to thwart the Knicks' comeback efforts.

Caron Butler, who signed a five-year contract extension with Washington on Monday, did not suit up because of a left thigh contusion.

Embarking on its first road trip of the season, Orlando is off to its first 0-2 start since the 1990-91, campaign when the team began the season 0-6.

The Magic lost to Memphis, 94-85, on Friday. Steve Francis scored 22 points on 9-of-17 shooting, but he missed all four of his shots from the arc as the team finished just 1-of-10 from 3-point range.

Orlando and Washington split four meetings last season, with each team winning once on the other's homecourt.
