The Magic will try to win their third straight game and sweep the season series against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight at Quicken Loans Arena.Orlando (44-26) has won three of their last four games, however, they are four games behind Miami for the third seed in the Eastern Conference. With only 12 games remaining the Magic must take care of business against sub .500 teams like the Cavaliers.
The Magic have a great chance tonight, they have won four games overall in a row against the Cavaliers including their 103-87 home win on January 30th. Dwight Howard finished game with 20 points and 20 rebounds.
However, Howard struggled with foul trouble the last time the Magic played in Cleveland, finishing the game with 12 points and six rebounds.
Cleveland (13-55) is coming off a 1-2 road trip on the west coast. The trip included a 111-70 beat down from the Portland Trailblazers and a knife-wielding man on the floor of Staples Center before eventually failing to the Clippers,100-92.
Baron Davis returned with the team in Portland and played limited minutes because of back spasms. He did not play in his return to Staples Center and his status for Monday is unknown.
