Magic UPDATE: Orlando is coming off a home loss Saturday night to the Houston Rockets, who ended its five-game winning streak. . . . SF Hedo Turkoglu missed the game but is expected to return tonight. It was the first game he has missed this season after playing in all 82 last season. . . . The Magic are 6-1 against the Eastern Conference and 3-3 against the West. . . . The Magic haven't lost to the Bucks in Orlando since Dec. 29, 2004, a span of five games. . . . This will be Orlando's last home game until it takes on the Pacers on Saturday. They face the 76ers on Wednesday and play the Wizards on Thanksgiving night on national TV (TNT).
Bucks UDPATE: Milwaukee beat the Bobcats on Saturday night in its last game. . . . The Bucks are low on firepower with SG Michael Redd still out of action with an ankle injury. Starting PG Luke Ridnour sustained a knee injury against the Bobcats. If he can't play, Ramon Sessions will start and former Magic PG Tyronn Lue will serve as the back-up. . . . The Bucks acquired SF Richard Jefferson in a trade with the Nets in the offseason. . . . Bucks Coach Scott Skiles, a point guard on the Magic's inaugural team, will be recognized during the game as the club celebrates its 20th anniversary season.
KEY MATCHUPS: With Yao Ming having left the premises, Dwight Howard should have an easier time against C Andrew Bogut. Howard averaged 20.3 points against the Bucks last season in three games while Bogut averaged 7.5 in two meetings. Turkoglu, recovering from the flu, won't get much rest against Jefferson.
