Atlanta (21-46) at Orlando (26-43) 6:00 pm EST
ORLANDO, Florida (Ticker) -- The Orlando Magic can post their
longest winning streak in nearly two months Sunday when they
host the Atlanta Hawks.
The Magic have not won three straight since a five-game run in
January. They set themselves up with a second win in a row
Friday at Philadelphia, snapping a 16-game road losing streak
with a 102-86 triumph.
Jameer Nelson led seven players in double figures with 19 points
and Dwight Howard had 15 and 19 rebounds for Orlando, which
clings to a very remote chance at a playoff berth. It enters
Sunday 6 1/2 games behind the eighth-place 76ers in the Eastern
Conference with 15 to play.
Meanwhile, the Hawks have something to play for if they want to
catch the Magic in the Southeast Division. They are four games
back entering the contest but have lost three in a row,
including Saturday's 98-83 loss to Dallas.
Al Harrington scored 19 points for Atlanta, which won the first
two meetings between the teams this season.
