SBG Global Opening Line: 76ers   -  2.5  ,  Total  190.5

The red-hot Orlando Magic host the Philadelphia 76ers in ESPN's feature Wednesday night NBA game.  The Magic have won six of their last seven due in large part to the play of Dwight Howard.  He is averaging 20.9 points per game and 13.4 rebounds per game.  He already has 10 double-doubles this season including Monday night against Milwaukee when he scored 24 points and pulled down 13 boards. "I was trying to be more aggressive in the second half," said Howard. The Magic could be without point guard Jameer Nelson on Wednesday as he strained his groin in Monday's win.  He is questionable against the 76ers.  SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Magic on the Road.

Philadelphia will try and bounce back from a poor effort on Monday against Charlotte when they scored just 84 points in a 93-84 loss.  The 76ers have not gotten enough offense this season, especially from Elton Brand who they signed in the off-season.  Brand is averaging just 16.6 points per game this season. "We expected to better than that," said Brand, "We will be better than that. It's a work in progress. I'm not worried about it because everyone on this team plays hard. It's just going to take some time."  Brand is not the only one struggling.  Andre Iguodala is only averaging 13.4 points per game, well down from is production of last season.
