Play Orlando / Seattle UNDER 205 for 2*
Orlando is 9-2 UNDER after 2 straight games giving up over 100 pts.
New coach for Orlando. Players can either give up on the season or dig in either way I see a lower pt totals in the next week or two.
SEATTLE (Ticker) -- The Orlando Magic hope that a coaching change will end the team's kid. A visit to the Pacific Division-leading Seattle SuperSonics on Friday will be a difficult first test.
The Magic fired coach ****** Davis and replaced him with assistant Chris Jent on an interim basis after Wednesday's 110-102 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center.
Orlando's season-high sixth straight loss and ninth in 12 games dropped the Magic into a tie with the Philadelphia 76ers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Trailing by 22 points in the fourth quarter, the Magic rallied behind rookie Dwight Howard, who scored nine of his season-high 29 points in a 20-3 run that cut the deficit to five with just under three minutes to play. But Orlando got no closer and fell to 0-2 on its current five-game road trip.
Steve Francis scored 15 points on 4-of-17 shooting in the loss. During the Magic's skid, he is averaging 19.5 points, but is shooting just 35 percent (39-of-110).
The SuperSonics return home after a 102-95 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Rashard Lewis scored 26 points and fellow All-Star Ray Allen contributed 20 for Seattle, which has lost its last three contests at Key Arena.
The Magic posted a 105-87 victory over the Sonics in Orlando on January 5. Francis collected 35 points and 11 rebounds and Grant Hill chipped in 21 points for the Magic, who shot 51 percent (43-of-84).
