The Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards square off Thursday night in our nation's capital. Here's how to watch, plus betting information and other relevant tidbits for the contest.

The Magic are currently 17-21 on the road with a point differential of -1, while the Wizards have a 3-7 record in their last ten games at home. Orlando has won all three meetings

Wizards rookie Bub Carrington scored 11 points in the frame and Marcus Smart added 10 when both made a pair of 3-pointers when Washington scored 6 points off 4 turnovers. The Magic led just 81-76 entering the final 12 minutes. The Magic, who entered Thursday with the 20th free throw percentage in the league (77.5%), shot well above that.

Although the Magic had won their first three meetings against the Wizards by an average margin of 20.6 points, younger teams such as Washington can search for momentum to carry them into the offseason by defeating stronger competition in the final stretch of the year.
