Orlando vs Washington Prediction: the Wizards to Bewitch the Audience

Washington has come alive and won three games in a row. Will the Wizards extend their winning streak against Orlando? 

The Magic, after a perfect road trip to Washington, failed twice. First, Jamahl Mosley's team fell short against LeBron James and Los Angeles Lakers (110-129). Then they lost at home to the Eastern Conference's worst team, Detroit, 101-121. Those games were a reminder that Orlando is still a very young team. The Magic still don't have and won't have any stability. Orlando is 13th in the Eastern Conference standings with 13-23.

While the Magic are in a slump, the Wizards have been on the upswing in recent games. Wes Unseld's team is coming into this game at Amway Center with three straight victories. Washington took turns beating Sacramento (125-111), Philadelphia (116-111), and Phoenix (127-102). Are the Wizards finally starting to reach their potential? Washington is 12th in the East standings, 15-21.

The Magic have failed two matches, and in the game against Washington won't even rely on some players suspended for fighting in their previous meeting against Detroit. The Wizards are on a roll right now and won't need help outplaying half of Orlando's roster.
