Orlando Magic (3-0) at Detroit Pistons (1-2), 7:30 p.m.

The Orlando Magic hope to remain perfect on the young season on Tuesday, when they pay a visit to the Detroit Pistons at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

The Magic improved to 2-0 on a three-game road swing Sunday in Toronto, where Jameer Nelson and J.J. Redick each drilled five of Orlando's 17 three-pointers to lead the team to a fast-paced 125-116 victory over the Raptors.

Nelson ended with 30 points while Redick, in the starting lineup due to an injury to Vince Carter (ankle), tallied a career-high 27 points for the Magic, who have won three straight to start the season.

Orlando Magic (2-0) at Toronto Raptors (1-1), 1 p.m.

The Orlando Magic will try to stay perfect on the young season when they resume a three-game road trip this afternoon against the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre.

The Magic opened the 2009-10 campaign with a home win over Philadelphia in a rematch of the first round of the playoffs, then headed up the east coast to New Jersey for a 95-85 victory on Friday. Vince Carter, who was traded to Orlando from New Jersey in the offseason, made his return to the IZOD Center, but left in the second quarter with a sprained left ankle.

"As much as I know we're trying to accomplish something, you always enjoy playing against guys you went to battle with the year before. But it was a weird feeling, I will say that," Carter said.

Toronto Raptors (17-18) at Orlando Magic (24-10), 7 p.m.

The Orlando Magic will try to sweep the season series from the Toronto Raptors when the two teams get together tonight at Amway Arena.

Orlando has won the first three meetings with the Raptors and is 7-3 in the previous 10 matchups between the clubs. Toronto hasn't fared too well in recent trips to the Magic, having lost nine of the last 15 road contests in this series.

The Southeast Division-leading Magic just went 1-2 on a three-game road trip and dropped the last two tests of the trek. In Tuesday's 97-90 loss to the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse, Mickael Pietrus and Jameer Nelson scored 16 points apiece in a losing effort.

Toronto Raptors (18-18) at Philadelphia 76ers (10-24), 7 p.m.

The chances of the Toronto Raptors remaining in the win column are promising since they're scheduled to visit the lowly Philadelphia 76ers tonight at the Wachovia Center.

Toronto is coming off back-to-back wins and owns a 7-1 record in its last eight games. In Wednesday's hard-fought 108-103 win over Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic in central Florida, Raptors star Chris Bosh contributed 18 points and 12 rebounds. Andrea Bargnani added 18 points as well and grabbed eight boards, while Hedo Turkoglu netted 17 points for the Raptors, who were coming off a 91-86 win over San Antonio on Sunday.

"We played great defense and got some stops," said Turkoglu, who played for the Magic for five seasons before joining the Raptors this year. "We followed the schemes by the coaches. As players, all we have to do is compete for 48 minutes."

Detroit Pistons (2-2) at Toronto Raptors (1-2), 7 p.m.

The Detroit Pistons are hanging in there without their top two scorers and will hit the road for consecutive games starting with Wednesday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre.

Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince have both been sidelines with injuries and are expected to miss tonight's game as well. Hamilton hasn't played since a season-opening win at Memphis because of an ankle injury, while Prince missed Tuesday's win over Orlando due to a balky back. His consecutive-games streak came to an end at 496, including a league-best 439 straight starts.

Ben Gordon picked up the slack in the victory over the Magic with 23 points, while both Will Bynum and Rodney Stuckey added 20 points.
