Wolves vs Magic

Wolves will look to end two losing streaks at the Target Center tonight (7:10CST).

The Wolves have not defeated the Magic at the Target Center since November 11th 2006.  George Bush was President.

Magic have defeated the Wolves in their last seven meetings.  Dwight Howard played in all of those games.

Blurbs:

Pek will go against Nikola Vucevic in the paint, Montenegro Style. Expect them both to, yes, GO HARD in the paint.

Magic will be without Veteran Hedu Turkoglu and Al Harrington.  Jameer Nelson has a strained hamstring and groin and will most likely not see the floor.

Arron Afflalo is coming off 28 points in a loss to the Bulls.

Purdue's own E'Twaun Moore will start in place on Nelson.

AK47 averages 14ppg against the Magic, his highest total against any NBA team.

Wolves may have a harder time rebounding than against Brooklyn (46-30) as Glen (Big Baby) Davis will be playing motivated with the departure of Howard.

Keys:

Play disciplined - limit turnovers, and don't let injury ridden team stay in the game late.  Players like Afflalo will   make it hurt.

Stay Big - Going at Glen Davis and putting him in early foul trouble will force Orlando into a game-plan that more than likely just doesn't exist.

THIS GAME IS IMPORTANT. 

We need to take early season match-ups such as these with a sense of urgency.  Win now without a fully healthy Roy, Rubio, and Love and we won't need to catch up later.

United We Run.

HOWL.
