Magic host woeful WarriorsBasketball Betting Lines03/03/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Orlando Magic are back at home and will try to ride the momentum from a blowout win in south Philly tonight, when they play host to the Golden State Warriors at Amway Arena. The Southeast Division-leading Magic crushed the 76ers, 126-105, on Monday at the Wachovia Center after Chester, PA native and Saint Joseph's product Jameer Nelson dropped 22 points and 10 assists on his local team. Rashard Lewis and Vince Carter each added 19 points for the Magic, who had seven players with 10-plus points and won for the eighth time in 11 tries. "Obviously we shot the ball very well, and this game came down to who made shots," said Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy. "I don't think either team put much effort in defensively quite honestly. It was pretty easy for both teams to get shots and we shot better than they did." Dwight Howard had 14 points and only three boards, but still leads the NBA with 47 double-doubles. Howard currently leads the league in both rebounding and blocked shots, and is trying to become the first player in NBA history to lead the league in those categories more than once. Orlando is two games ahead of Atlanta in the Southeast, second in the Eastern Conference standings behind Cleveland and 23-6 as the host this season. Golden State hopes to put the brakes on a seven-game road losing streak Wednesday night and opened a five-game trek with Tuesday's 110-106 setback against the Miami Heat at AmericanAirlines Arena. Heat All-Star Dwyane Wade finished with 35 points, 12 assists and six rebounds to scorch the Warriors, who got 24 points from Anthony Morrow and 20 out of C.J. Watson. "We played our behinds off and were able to stay in the game," said Warriors head coach Don Nelson, who is seven victories away from breaking Lenny Wilkens all-time record of 1,332 wins. The Warriors played a second straight game without leading scorer Monta Ellis, who is dealing with a sore back and is out indefinitely. They will also visit the Hawks, Bobcats and Hornets on the trip and are 4-24 away from Oakland. Golden State's last road win was on January 6 at Minnesota. Orlando defeated Golden State, 126-118, back on December 5 this season at ORACLE Arena and has won three straight in the series. The Warriors have dropped 13 of their last 16 visits to central Florida.
