By splitting the first two games in Orlando, the Philadelphia 76ers grabbed the home-court edge in their first-round playoff series against the Magic.
                             
But this is not necessarily an advantage for Philly.
                             
Orlando tied Cleveland and Boston for the second-best road record in the NBA this season at 27-14, just two games behind the Lakers. The Magic played better on the road than the Sixers did at home.
                             
Orlando, which is a 3.5-point favorite tonight, also won both meetings in Philadelphia this season.
Philadelphia has focused its defense on Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu on the perimeter, forcing other players to take shots.

Expect a better game from Dwight Howard, who had only 11 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out in Game 2.

The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the Magic are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in Philadelphia.
