Orlando (13-5) returns to Amway Arena following a 107-88 loss to Boston on Monday that snapped its six-game road winning streak.

It was the Magic's fewest points since their last road loss - 86-84 to Memphis on Oct. 31 - and the most points they've allowed all season.

Orlando had held 14 straight opponents to below 50 percent shooting before Boston hit 54.1 percent of its shots in handing the Magic their first loss in five games.

"We didn't do a very good job on the pick and rolls in the second half," said Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy, whose team has won nine of 11. "I think more than anything it was a problem with our schemes and preparation."

Orlando was prepared to play without injured starting guards Jameer Nelson and Mickael Pietrus, but the backcourt duo of Anthony Johnson and J.J. Redick stepped in with just 10 points on 4-of-16 shooting.

Nelson, who is averaging 14.4 points and 5.1 assists, has missed four consecutive games with a strained hip flexor. He could play on Wednesday.

Pietrus, scoring 12.9 points per game, tore a ligament in his right thumb on Nov. 26 against Philadelphia and could be out up to six weeks.

With the starting backcourt sidelined, Rashard Lewis carried the scoring load against Boston with a season-high 30 points. In his last four games versus Minnesota - two with Seattle - Lewis is averaging 25.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists.

Dwight Howard, who posted his 14th double-double of the season with 14 points and 15 rebounds against the world champion Celtics, is averaging 23.4 points, 15.4 rebounds and 3.8 blocks in the last five games.

Last season against Minnesota, Howard averaged 24.0 points and 15.0 rebounds as the teams split two meetings.

The Timberwolves (4-12) enter following a 100-90 loss to Charlotte on Monday - their second straight defeat. Minnesota committed 14 of its 18 turnovers and scored just 36 points in the opening 24 minutes.

The Timberwolves were just as ineffective on the defensive end, letting the league's lowest-scoring team reach 100 points for just the fourth time in 17 games.

"There are going to be nights you don't have it offensively," said Minnesota coach Randy Wittman, whose team is shooting just 43.5 percent from the field. "If you don't continue to do things at both ends of the floor, then you can't play. I've got to find people to play."

Randy Foye, averaging 18.4 points in his last five games, led Minnesota with 23 Monday, while leading scorer and rebounder Al Jefferson had a season-low eight points with nine boards.

"They're doing a great job of just acting like they're going and stunting," said Jefferson, who is averaging 23.5 points and 10.0 rebounds in his last four games versus the Magic. "It's messing me up."

Minnesota has won four of its last five games in Orlando with the last two victories both coming by one point.
