Both teams hope to bounce back from sloppy performances when they meet Thursday night in Orlando.

Despite nearly squandering a 17-point, third-quarter lead and matching a season high with 19 turnovers, Orlando (2-2) won its second straight on Monday - 96-93 over Chicago.

Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy was critical of the Magic's lack of execution in the fourth quarter, when they had four turnovers and were an Andres Nocioni 3-pointer away from being forced into overtime.

"I guess we have to find somebody else to go to who will not turn the ball over," Van Gundy said of Hedo Turkoglu and Jameer Nelson, who each had four turnovers.

After posting a career-best 2.72 assists-turnover ratio in 2007-08, Nelson has nearly as many turnovers (11) as assists (14) this season.

Turkoglu is averaging 3.3 turnovers and shooting just 35.7 percent from the field, including 27.8 percent from 3-point range. He could use another game like Feb. 22, when he scored 31 points and set a career high with seven 3-pointers in Orlando's 115-99 win against the 76ers.

"His conditioning's not great," Van Gundy said. "When he gets a little tired he doesn't want to do anything except jack up a jump shot."

Conditioning never seems to be an issue for Dwight Howard, who posted his fourth straight double-double on Monday with 22 points and 15 rebounds. He had just two points and one board in the fourth.

In eight career home games against Philadelphia, Howard is averaging 19.3 points and 13.4 rebounds while the Magic have gone 6-2.

Rashard Lewis finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds against Chicago, and hit three free throws in the final 23 seconds to secure the win.

While Orlando is turning the ball over 16.5 times per game, the 76ers give it away 19.2 times per contest. In Wednesday's 106-83 loss at Miami, Philadelphia (2-3) committed a season-high 26 turnovers, 17 in the opening 24 minutes.

"In the first half we turned the ball over every chance we got," 76ers coach Maurice Cheeks. "We didn't make shots, we turned the ball over and they got a lot of layups."

Miami held a 14-0 advantage in points off turnovers in the first half en route to a 21-point lead.

Thaddeus Young led Philadelphia with 19 points, but committed five turnovers, while Elton Brand's fourth double-double of the season - 12 points and 12 rebounds - was accompanied by his third four-turnover game.

Philadelphia lost three of four to the Magic last season, including both meetings in Orlando. The 76ers' last road win in the series was a 105-103 decision on Nov. 3, 2006, behind 39 points and 10 assists from Allen Iverson.
