11/21/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Orlando Magic will shoot for a season high five straight wins tonight, when they pay a visit to the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse.
Orlando has won four in a row and eight of its last nine games, including Tuesday's 103-90 victory over the Toronto Raptors at Amway Arena. Hedo Turkoglu scored 16 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, and both Jameer Nelson and Rashard Lewis finished with 22 points in the win.
Lewis also had eight rebounds and five steals while Dwight Howard chipped in 18 points and nine rebounds before fouling out. Orlando guard Mickael Pietrus is probable for Friday's game with bruised ribs.
The Magic have won three in a row on the road to improve to 3-1 as the guest this season.
Indiana ended a two-game slide and won for the fourth time in six tries after Tuesday's 113-96 victory over the Atlanta Hawks in the opener of a short two- game homestand.
Danny Granger had a season-high 34 points and shot 13-of-18 from the field to lead the charge. Rasho Nesterovic had 21 points and Troy Murphy registered 10 points and a season-high 19 rebounds for the Pacers.
The Pacers are 4-2 at home in 2008-09.
Orlando went 2-1 against Indiana last season and has won three of four and four of the last six meetings.
The Magic snapped a four-game series road losing streak with a 121-115 victory at Conseco Fieldhouse back on February 2.

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
