Magic shoot for 9th straight win; host Bobcats

Basketball Betting Lines

03/14/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Charlotte Bobcats continue their push for the franchise's first postseason berth tonight against a streaking Orlando team in search of its ninth straight win.

The Magic, who are currently the second seed in the Eastern Conference, 4 1/2 games behind Cleveland, earned their eighth straight triumph in the nation's capital last night when Dwight Howard put up 28 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and dished out five assists, as Orlando overcame a sluggish start to upend lowly Washington, 109-95.

J.J. Redick netted 18 points, and fellow reserve Brandon Bass contributed 16 points and nine rebounds for the Southeast Division-leading Magic. Vince Carter scored 18 points for the victors.

Orlando, which has won seven consecutive games against the Bobcats, hasn't won nine straight in a season since Jan. 30-Feb. 18, 2001.

The Bobcats, meanwhile, find themselves in the sixth spot in the East after a 106-98 win over the LA Clippers in Charlotte on Friday. Stephen Jackson poured in 14 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter while dishing out six assists in that one, as the Bobcats continued their stellar play at home.

Gerald Wallace added 17 points and six rebounds before leaving right before halftime with a sprained left ankle. Boris Diaw ended with 16 points and five assists, while Tyson Chandler donated 13 points and nine boards off the bench.

Raymond Felton had a near triple-double with 10 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds for Charlotte, which has won five in a row for the first time since a six-game tear from January 9-20.

An MRI on Wallace's ankle Saturday revealed no fractures or ligament tears, but the forward is expected to miss tonight's game. In other roster news, Charlotte signed guard Larry Hughes on Saturday but the veteran is nursing a broken finger and likely won't make his Bobcats debut until next week.

Charlotte has won four in a row as the host and improved to 24-8 at Time Warner Cable Arena this season with the win over LA, setting a franchise record for home victories. The road has been a different story, however, and the Bobcats hope to improve on their 9-23 mark as the visitor tonight.
