<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bulletsforever.com/">Washington Wizards</a> were looking for their first win of the season, but the surging <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a> were not up to oblige. The Magic took a 56-38 lead into halftime and just cruised on to an easy 103-85 victory. The Wizards had no answer for center <span>Dwight Howard</span> who finished the night with 28 points and pulling down 20 rebounds with three blocks. Forward Ryan Anderson had another nice game with 23 points, hitting three of his five three point shots.</p>
<p>The Wizards just couldn't get much going consistently enough offensively and shot just 2 of 12 from the three point line. <span>Nick Young</span> led the Wiz in scoring with 17 points and four rebounds, while <span>John Wall</span> picked up 14 points with five assists.</p>

<p>Rashard Lewis makes his return to Amway Center on Wednesday night, playing against the Magic for the first time since they traded him to the Wizards in December 2010.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/">Orlando Magic</a> (4-2) host the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bulletsforever.com/">Washington Wizards</a> (0-5) on Wednesday night, playing against <span>Rashard Lewis</span> for the first time since they traded the veteran forward to the Wizards in December 2010. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. Eastern on Sun Sports.</p>
<p>Orlando's four-game winning streak ended Monday against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.detroitbadboys.com/">Detroit Pistons</a>. Fatigue plagued the Magic, who where playing on the back end of a back-to-back set, as they shot just 33.3 percent in the second half and allowed Detroit to take command. Pistons guard <span>Ben Gordon</span> scored 26 to lead all players, while center <span>Dwight Howard</span> put up 19 points, seven rebounds, and five steals in defeat.</p>
<p>The Wizards are the league's only winless team, though they at least made progress in Monday's 100-92 loss to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.celticsblog.com/">Boston Celtics</a>. In that contest, the Wizards crossed the 90-point threshold for the first time in the 2011/12 season. Former No. 1 overall pick <span>John Wall</span> leads Washington with 13.8 points, 6.8 assists, and two steals per game, but has shot just 31.7 percent from the field. <span>JaVale McGee</span> also averages 13.8 points per game and adds 11 rebounds and 2.4 blocks.</p>
<p>Orlando swept the season series from Washington, 4-0, in the 2010/11 season, winning by an average of 18.3 points per game.</p>
