Van Gundy’s Southeast Division-leading Orlando Magic look to win for the 11th time in 12 games Monday night, when they’ll face a Philadelphia 76ers team that’s dropped 12 of 14. Coming off a 26-point rout of San Antonio the night before, Orlando defeated Miami 108-102 in overtime on Thursday to open a three-game trip. Although his team wasted a 12-point lead with 4:45 left in regulation, Van Gundy complimented his club on how it closed out the back-to-back set.

Lewis scored 12 combined points in the previous three contests. In Orlando’s last game in Philadelphia, Carter and Lewis each hit three 3s and scored 19 points in a 126-105 victory March 1. Former St. Joseph’s star Jameer Nelson scored 22 points with 10 assists in that matchup as the Magic hit a season-high 58.4 percent from the field and won their sixth straight in this series.Howard posted his NBA-leading 54th double-double Thursday with 10 points and 11 rebounds, but he will look to do more Monday after being saddled with foul trouble against the Heat and picking up his 15th technical of the season.

Miami Heat didn’t have a good offensive performance in their last game, but a strong defensive effort helped them pull out a victory. That is exactly what happened in their two matchups with the New Jersey Nets this season. The Heat look for their third win in as many games against the lowly Nets on Monday night at the Izod Center.Facing a third straight loss, Miami defeated Charlotte 77-71 on Saturday despite shooting 35.9 percent. The Heat got only 14 points from Dwyane Wade and were playing without the injured Jermaine O’Neal, but turned in one of their best defensive games of the season.

The Heat moved a half-game ahead of Charlotte for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. Miami is in the top five in the NBA in scoring defense, yielding 94.9 points per game. That impressive average is the result of efforts such as the two performances against the Nets. Miami won the first matchup 81-80 on Nov. 14 and took the second 87-84 on Feb. 17. The Heat shot 39.2 percent in those contests but limited New Jersey to 39.0. Wade delivered a 3-pointer with 0.1 seconds left in the first victory, and the Heat overcame Wade’s first-quarter departure due to a sprained calf in the second meeting.

Atlanta Hawks wrapped up a playoff berth with a pair of wild overtime victories in their two latest games. Now, they’ll see how they fare against a team they might see in the first round. It took an extra five minutes for the Hawks to survive the visiting Milwaukee Bucks late last month, but the scene shifts to the Bradley Center on Monday night for the first of two more meetings between the potential postseason opponents. Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Al Horford led Atlanta to the playoffs in the past two seasons after the franchise had experienced an eight-year drought, and there’s a feeling the Hawks may be a legitimate contender heading into their third straight postseason.

Atlanta lost 106-105 in Toronto on Wednesday on Chris Bosh’s jumper with two seconds left, but the Hawks rallied from a 10-point, second-half deficit Friday and beat Charlotte 93-92 in overtime on Johnson’s buzzer-beating fallaway jumper. Not to be outdone, the Hawks came from behind again Sunday against visiting San Antonio to clinch their postseason berth. The deficit was 14 early in the second quarter, but Marvin Williams had 26 points, Horford scored 22 and grabbed 18 rebounds and Johnson had 20 points to go with 13 assists in a thrilling 119-114 overtime win.

Dallas Mavericks’ recent 13-game winning streak, they beat the New Orleans Hornets despite struggling in the second half. Their inability to close games out has been a problem the last two games as well. The Mavericks visit the Hornets on Monday night, looking to hand the Hornets another blow to their very slim playoff hopes. Dallas won 13 in a row Feb. 17-March 10, including a 108-100 victory over New Orleans on Feb. 28.

On Saturday against Boston, Dallas led by seven early in the fourth quarter before the offense faltered en route to a 102-93 loss.Nowitzki scored 12 of his 37 points in the final quarter, but his teammates provided only nine more. The loss came three days after the Mavericks nearly blew a 25-point lead against Chicago before holding on for a 113-106 victory. In the game prior, Dallas’ streak was snapped with a stunning 128-94 loss to the Knicks. The good news for Terry and the Mavericks is that three of their next four games are against teams with losing records and they still have a comfortable lead atop the Southwest Division.

The Chicago Bulls hope to make a late push for a playoff berth. The Bulls look to win consecutive games for the first time in a month when they host the Houston Rockets on Monday night. With All-Star guard Derrick Rose and forward Joakim Noah in the lineup, Chicago snapped a 10-game skid with a 98-84 win at Philadelphia on Saturday. After missing four games with a sprained wrist, Rose scored 23 points in 37 minutes as the Bulls won for the first time since beating Portland on Feb. 26 - also the last time they won back-to-back games.

Though Noah had just seven points and four rebounds in nine minutes Saturday after missing 10 games with a foot injury, his hard-nosed play tends to spark the Bulls. Chicago averaged 95.8 points and 15.0 turnovers in the four games without Rose, who shot 9 of 16 from the field against the 76ers. The Bulls’ defense was the story, however, as they held lowly Philadelphia to 40.2 percent shooting and 1 of 17 from 3-point range. Chicago will now try to avoid losing six in a row at home for the first time since a nine-game skid from March 6-April 5, 2002.

The Toronto Raptors could use some momentum with a challenging four-game stretch beginning later this week. A matchup with a Minnesota Timberwolves team that has lost 12 straight could provide it. Looking to win two in a row on the road for the first time in more than two months, Toronto tries to extend its 11-game winning streak over Minnesota on Monday night. Chris Bosh scored 36 points and the Raptors snapped a six-game road skid with a 100-90 victory over New Jersey on Saturday.

Toronto is allowing a conference-worst 105.8 points per game, but moved to 20-0 when holding opponents to fewer than 100 points. The Raptors have not won two straight on the road since Jan. 6-8, but have won five in a row at the Target Center. With Bosh sidelined with a sprained right knee, Toronto earned a 110-102 victory in its last visit Feb. 10, 2009. Before hosting Utah and Denver and playing at Miami and Charlotte from Wednesday through next Monday, Toronto will try to sweep Minnesota for the sixth straight season.

As long he can bounce back against the San Antonio Spurs, all will be forgiven. A critical four-game homestand for the Thunder against fellow Western Conference contenders begins Monday night, when the Spurs visit the Ford Center looking to lock up their season series against Oklahoma City. Durant’s offensive game has rarely been anything but impressive in his third NBA season, as the league’s second-leading scorer has turned the Thunder into a legitimate playoff contender. Durant averaged 28.5 points but shot just 38.1 percent as Oklahoma City split the first two games of a three-game road trip, then delivered one of his worst games of the season Sunday.

Getting back on track against the Spurs won’t be easy. Durant has averaged 27.0 points but shot just 39.7 percent in three games versus San Antonio, including two losses. Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook were just as instrumental as Durant in Oklahoma City’s lone win, 101-98 at the AT&T Center on Nov. 14. San Antonio began a treacherous eight-day stretch Sunday with a disheartening loss in Atlanta prior to games against the Thunder, Lakers, Cavaliers and Celtics.

A resurgent Paul Pierce also has helped.Pierce and the Celtics look to win their fifth straight Monday night when they complete a three-game road trip against the Utah Jazz. Another division title is all but a foregone conclusion for Boston, which has a 10-game lead over Toronto with 13 games remaining. The Celtics have looked particularly strong this month, winning nine of 12, including the last four by an average of 13.5 points. The Celtics are coming off a 102-93 win over Southwest Division-leading Dallas on Saturday. Pierce scored 29 points while Rajon Rondo added 20 and 10 rebounds.

The Celtics were in top form defensively in a 105-86 win over the Jazz on Nov. 11. No Utah player scored more than 13 points in that game and the Jazz went 0 for 10 from 3-point range. Pierce will look to stay hot after going 10 of 17 from the floor against the Mavericks. Averaging 18.1 points this season, Pierce has averaged 28.0 over the last three games. While the Celtics have a commanding lead in the Atlantic, Utah trails Denver by two games in the Northwest Division.

The Grizzlies’ lingering problems at Arco Arena certainly haven’t helped their cause. In danger of missing the postseason for the fourth straight year, the Grizzlies look to end their road struggles against the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. Memphis has won seven of 10, but it’s likely too late to salvage its playoff chances. With 12 games left, the Grizzlies are in 10th place in the Western Conference, 4 1/2 games behind eighth-place Portland. Memphis hasn’t been to the postseason since 2006. A matchup at Sacramento is unlikely to help it end that drought. The Grizzlies franchise has lost 26 of 28 road games all-time against the Kings.

The Grizzlies have put an emphasis on maintaining their intensity down the stretch of games. Memphis matched a season high with 72 points in the paint and outrebounded Golden State 54-37 even though center Marc Gasol missed his third straight game with a strained back. He remains listed as day to day. Hasheem Thabeet, selected two spots ahead of Evans with the second overall pick in last year’s draft, has given the Grizzlies strong minutes as Gasol’s replacement in his first stint as a starter. Back after a stint in the D-League last month, Thabeet is averaging 7.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in his last three games.

Phoenix Sun have an outstanding chance at an emphatic bounce-back game. Scoring shouldn’t be scarce as the Suns visit the Golden State Warriors on Monday night in a matchup of teams that have used similar philosophies to much different degrees of success. One of Phoenix’s worst offensive games of the season wasn’t enough to keep it from earning a 93-87 win over Portland on Sunday night. The Suns shot 38.8 percent - their third-lowest mark of the season - and were held under 96 points for the fifth time. Just five days earlier, Phoenix posted the highest point total by an NBA team this season, beating Minnesota 152-114.

Each team has reached 100 points in their last 16 meetings, with the Suns averaging 119.0 and the Warriors posting 114.9. None of those games went into overtime. Despite the similarities between the teams, Phoenix’s talent and depth has made it one of the Western Conference’s top contenders. Golden State, meanwhile, has the league’s third-worst record. The Suns, winners of four straight, are one game behind fourth-place Utah. They are 18 games above .500 for the first time this season. Against the Trail Blazers, Stoudemire led Phoenix with 18 points - nearly five below his season average.

The Pittsburgh Penguins came to Detroit and beat the Red Wings to hoist the Stanley Cup for the third time in franchise history. This season, only one of these perennial powers is a lock to return to the playoffs. The Red Wings look to further solidify their postseason hopes with a third consecutive home victory Monday night when the Penguins return to Joe Louis Arena. Just making the playoffs, let alone a potential third straight Stanley Cup finals meeting with Pittsburgh, will be on the minds’ of the Detroit players in this contest. After winning the Stanley Cup in 2008 then losing 2-1 to Pittsburgh at home in Game 7 in June, Detroit is flirting with missing the playoffs for the first time since 1989-90.

The Red Wings concluded a 2-0-1 road swing with a 4-3 overtime win at Vancouver on Saturday. Henrik Zetterberg scored as the overtime buzzer sounded Saturday and the Red Wings rallied from an early two-goal deficit to remain in playoff position despite playing without injured forwards Dan Cleary and Patrick Eaves. It’s uncertain if both will be ready for this contest. The Red Wings will need that kind of effort to continue against the Penguins, who hold a two-point lead over New Jersey in the Atlantic Division and look to maintain second place in the Eastern Conference.

The Ottawa Senators are running out of chances to get back on track. They will try to do so again Monday night when they visit the surging Montreal Canadiens. Ottawa tries to avoid its longest losing streak of the season as it faces a Canadiens team that has won six of seven to tie the Senators in the Eastern Conference. Ottawa’s franchise-record 11-game winning streak from Jan. 14-Feb. 4 is a distant memory as the Senators have gone 1-7-1 since the Olympic break. They matched a season high with their fifth straight loss Saturday, 5-4 at Dallas despite Jason Spezza’s third career hat trick. The defeat, coupled with Montreal picking up a point in a 3-2 shootout loss at Toronto on Saturday, leaves the Senators tied with the Canadiens for second place in the Northeast Division.

Making his first start in a week, Leclaire allowed five goals on 19 shots Saturday before being replaced by Elliott, who turned away six shots in the final 14:03. Leclaire went 0-6-1 with a 4.92 goals-against average in his last eight starts, but has gone 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA in two starts against Montreal this season. Elliott went 0-3-0 with a 3.45 GAA in his last four appearances. In the teams’ last matchup at the Bell Centre, Mike Brodeur made his third NHL start and stopped 32 shots in Ottawa’s 4-2 victory on Jan. 16. The Senators have won four of five against the Canadiens this season and three straight in Montreal dating to last season.

Colorado Avalanche and the Los Angeles Kings back into contention, and just one point separates the two teams in the crowded Western Conference playoff race. They’ll have plenty of chances to settle the score themselves. The Kings and Avalanche face off twice this week and three times before the end of the season, beginning with Monday’s meeting in Los Angeles as each club tries to solidify its position in the standings. The two worst teams in the West last season, Colorado and Los Angeles have experienced a renaissance behind budding stars.

Although the Avs couldn’t return the favor Sunday, losing 5-2 at Anaheim, both clubs remain in good shape to return to the postseason, with Colorado holding a five-point lead and a game in hand on ninth-place Calgary. Seeking its first playoff berth since 2002, Los Angeles has at least one game in hand on every other West team, and the team was reassured by Saturday’s victory after going 2-4-1 in its previous seven games. U.S. Olympian Jon Quick made 26 saves for his fourth shutout and 38th victory, and the Kings killed all four New York power plays to extend their streak of successful penalty kills to 24.
