BROADCASTS: TV -- WRBW-Ch. 65. Radio -- 580 AM (WDBO); Spanish-language radio: 1030 AM (WONQ)

MAGIC UPDATE: Orlando has won its past six games and leads the Eastern Conference and Southeast Division. . . . The Magic have won their first three games on this West swing, coming off a thriller against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. . . . The Magic are the healthiest they have been since training camp opened. There are no significant injuries. F Pat Garrity (right knee strain) is back. . . . The Magic have dropped five of their past six to the Clippers.

CLIPPERS UPDATE: Los Angeles won 47 games last season and made the Western Conference playoffs as a No. 6 seed, stealing much of the Lakers' thunder in Hollywood. . . . The club just extended Coach Mike Dunleavy's contract. . . . PF Elton Brand is among the top 10 rebounders in the league. . . . SG Cuttino Mobley and SF Corey Maggette are former Magic players. Maggette's name has been linked recently to trade rumors.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: The Clippers have a lot of weapons, but the Magic have to control Brand around the basket first. The Clippers were 7-1 at home before facing the Lakers on Saturday night.
