ORLANDO – Having dropped two games in a row at a critical point in the season, the Orlando Magic head into a stretch of games that could very well decide their fate as it relates to the playoffs.

After tonight, the Magic will face Memphis (30-35) two times, Washington (27-37), Cleveland (16-49), Atlanta (22-44) and New Orleans (30-37).
After dropping road games to Cleveland and Philadelphia, the Magic sit in a tie for ninth place in the East with the Charlotte Hornets (29-35).
