    Injured List

    Magic: Michael Bradley, Andrew Declercq, Brandon Hunter

    Key Matchup

    Carlos Boozer vs. Dwight Howard

    Dwight Howard has been a beast on the boards for Orlando, but Boozer is one of the best in the league at rebounding. Both will be tested, and relied upon by their respective teams to get the rebounds. Boozer is also a reliable scorer for the Jazz, and Howard will have a tough time trying to stop Boozer.

    Prediction

    This should be a close game, but with the return of Carlos Arroyo will play a big part. I think it's going to come down to the Forward matchups in the end, with Utah just escaping with the win.

    Jazz 94, Magic 91

    I'm afraid we might lose this one. Back-to-back road games are hard on any team. We better play like we want this game, as the Magic has had a few days of rest and they should be ready for us. I look to Harpring to have a good game tonight, the Magic did draft him and he might want to show out against his old team.

    Even though I a die hard Magic Fan I will say good luck and may the best man win! [​IMG]

    Once again I say good game and you guys put up a good battle early but then fell apart in the 4th quarter. Both teams came out and played and it was a great game. Good Luck with the rest of your schedule and have a great season [​IMG]
