Atlanta Hawks (6-1) vs. Orlando Magic (4-1), 7pmThe Hawks look for some serious retribution after a four-game sweep by the Magic in the conference semi-finals ended their hopes of a championship run. The Magic won the season series between these two Southeast Division rivals 3-1 for the past two seasons.
Probable starters
ATL: C Jason Collins, PF Al Horford, SF Josh Smith, SG Joe Johnson, PG Mike Bibby
ORL: C Dwight Howard, PF Rashard Lewis, SF Quentin Richardson, SG Vince Carter, Chris Duhon
Player to Watch: Chris Duhon, PG, ORL
The Magic's starting point guard Jameer Nelson did not play Saturday against Charlotte and is listed day-to-day with a sprained left ankle. The Magic signed Duhon for just this scenario.

Prediction: Take Orlando. The Hawks are an exciting team to watch, but they simply have not been able to beat the Magic on the road.
