With Allen Iverson out, this team is going to need alot of people to step up and score. Kyle Korver's shooting, and ability to put the ball in the bucket will be desperately needed by this team, if they want to stay competitive and win.<span style="color:#3333FF">For the Magic</span> it will be Trevor Ariza. With Hedo Turkoglu on the bench, Ariza is going to get alot more playing time than usual tonight, and more than likely will be in the starting lineup. His energy and hustle, along with defense will be nice in the opening lineup. We are going to need him to continue his surprising play on offense, moving around to get open and attacking the basket. This is his time to shine with Hedo out, and prove what I have been thinking all along, Ariza deserves to be a starter.<span style="color:#FF0000">Valo's Key Matchup:</span><span style="color:#000000">Samuel Dalembert vs Dwight Howard,</span> this will be the matchup of the night at the center position. These two will battle down low, and try to set the tone for their team on defense. If Dalembert can keep Howard from getting out of control on offense, and help stop the Magic from waltzing through the paint it will be a hard game for the Magic. If Howard can dominate the boards, and control the paint like he usually does, the Magic will win.<span style="color:#330099">Valo's random tidbits:</span> The Magic are coming off of a late game heart breaker last night against the Pistons, and having lost their last two games. The Magic have not lost three straight games since March 6th of last year. The Magic will be without Hedo Turkoglu who had an ankle sprain against the Pistons, after coming down on Prince's ankle. The 76ers are coming off of six straight losses, and are going to be without Allen Iverson do to the asking for a trade that has blown up now. The 76ers so far are 0-3 in games that Iverson has not played, including last nights loss. <span style="color:#333300">Valo's predictions:</span> I think that without Allen Iverson the 76ers should not be to much of a threat tonight. We should be able to win comfortably against this team. I think Battie will do a very good job guarding Chris Webber, and force him into many bad shots. I also see the Magic being able to attack the 76ers off the dribble all night. I'm seriously expecting the Magic to win in good fashion tonight.
