The Orlando Magic will host the Chicago Bulls tonight in Florida. The Magic are leading the Southeast Division with an overall record of 23-16, though they have just lost two in a row. The Bulls, as you probably know, will enter the game with a record of 14-20, in last place in the Central Division. The Magic are favored to win the game by about six points in most betting circles.
In order for Chicago to do well in this one, they are going to have to keep Dwight Howard from controlling the game. Howard has recently emerged as one of the elite centers in the game, averaging over 22 points, 15 rebounds per game. The Bulls managed to hold his points to 17 the last time these two teams met, but Howard ended up getting 22 rebounds and five blocks. Ben Wallace will probably get most of the defensive assignments on Howard. Joakim Noah still has a bad attitude, so he’s probably not going to get a face full of Howard tonight.
