Bulls Vs. Magic: Dwight Howard And Orlando Challenge Chicago’s Stellar Home Record

This season, the Chicago Bulls enjoy one of the best home-court advantages in the NBA, having notched a 21-4 record in the United Center. One of those four losses, however, have come against the Orlando Magic, who will once again test the Bulls at 8 p.m. Eastern (7 p.m. local time) on Friday night.

On December 1st, the Magic dealt the Bulls a 107-78 clobbering in the United Center, as Jameer Nelson scored 24 points and dished off nine assists. The Magic have made some roster adjustments over the past two months, however, having traded away Vince Carter and added Gilbert Arenas and Jason Richardson.

For the Bulls, this will be the fifth game of a six-game homestand. After falling to the Bobcats, the Bulls have sent the Mavericks, Cavaliers, and Bucks packing. Heading into Friday night's action, the Bulls hold a 31-14 record, while the Magic stand at 30-16.
