Bobcats-Magic Preview
<p>With forward Glen Davis back and a soft portion of their schedule beginning, the Orlando Magic hope to make their recent losing streak a distant memory <a href="http://www.blackfirered5s.com/"><strong>Fire Red 5s 2013 For Sale</strong></a>.</p><p>They can start by taking care of business Friday night against the visiting Charlotte Bobcats, who have lost 24 of their last 26 games.</p><p>After losing 10 consecutive games, Orlando (14-24) has won two of three with impressive victories over the Los Angeles Clippers and Indiana sandwiched around a 29-point defeat at league-worst Washington.</p><p>"We've beaten some good teams this year,'' guard J.J. Redick said after the Magic beat the Central-leading Pacers 97-86 on Wednesday. "And we've been in games against good teams."</p><p>The Magic, however, have lost five straight to teams with losing records and can't afford more slip-ups if they hope to get back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture. Starting with the Bobcats (9-29), Orlando begins a stretch of five in a row - four at home - against teams well below .500.</p><p>Having won 19 of 21 against Charlotte, the Magic appear primed to end their skid against losing teams.</p><p>"We're trying to win games," Davis said. "We're behind. We lost a lot of games. We've gotta go and kind of catch back up.''</p><p>After the Magic lost 10 of 11 without him, Davis has given Orlando a boost with 24 points over 43 minutes in two games back from a sprained left shoulder

The Magic are likely to look inside again after finishing with 60 points in the paint while shooting a season-high 54.4 percent in that victory.</p><p>Charlotte was outscored 52-22 in the paint Tuesday against the Pacers in a 103-76 loss, its fifth straight, and was outrebounded 60-31 - the largest differential in franchise history

"I think there are a lot of times where we put teams on their heels when we have (our) guards out there. We just need to continue to use that to our strength."</p><p>Leading scorer Kemba Walker (17.3 points per game) scored a career-high 32 in the first meeting against the Magic, but he's averaged 13
