Orlando at Miami Pregame

Tonight the Magic will look to get back on track as they face the Miami Heat in Miami. Both teams come in having lost their last games which both happened to come against Boston. The Magic should still be considered one of the elite teams in the league, and can certainly illustrate that point with a strong win. On the other side the Heat are a decent team that is still trying to get back to its championship form of 2006.

The advantage tonight surely goes to the Magic who have won 10 straight over the Heat. Miami has no answer for Dwight Howard down low, and that should prove to be the difference maker. Both teams have solid guard play, and can score from the perimeter, but that's where the similarities end.

Miami will try to rely on a strong game by Dwayne Wade, who has proven he can single handedly take over a game. Miami should also try and make this a fast pace game which could neutralize the advantage that the Magic have in the post.

In the end it should be a good game but I don't see Miami being able to stick with a high powered Magic team for 4 quarters.
