    MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- With playoff chances still a limited possibility, the Orlando Magic are at least looking to end the season on a good note.

    The Magic will try to match a season high with five straight wins when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday.

    Orlando enters Wednesday five games out of a playoff spot, but has won nine of 12 overall to salvage something of an otherwise difficult season. Its run continued Tuesday with a 97-93 win at Chicago.

    Jameer Nelson led five players in double figures with 24 points and the Magic limited the Bulls to just 11 points in the fourth quarter to rally and win its second straight road game following a 16-game losing streak away from home.

    The Timberwolves claimed their third straight victory at home by knocking off New York on Sunday, 98-94. Kevin Garnett had 26 points and 15 rebounds for Minnesota, which built a 19-point lead after three quarters before hanging on.

    Nelson had 25 points to lead Orlando to a 107-87 victory December 30 in the first meeting between the teams. </div>

    This will be a good game and the Howard-Garnett matchup will make it interesting. We will be looking to win our fifth game in a row and the Wolves have won three straight games at home. One of those streaks will end tonight as these two teams square off in Minnesota. I am predicting a Magic win, 98-95. Go Magic!

    Remember last time that Dwight got benched, he went off. Well we benched him in the 4th quarter last night, he didn't play a single min of the 4th and it will be interesting how he comes out against one of the elite players in the NBA.
