What a weekend of hoops ahead. The Final Four is tomorrow and there will be a playoff-like atmosphere in Orlando tonight, when LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers take on Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic.

Both teams will be trying to rebound from a disappointing defeat and earn the upper hand in a potential conference finals preview.

Cleveland lost Thursday in Washington 109-101 and it was the most points the Cavs' league-best defense has allowed in a loss all season.

Orlando's next three games may be their toughest before the postseason, as they travel to face Atlanta and Houston after Friday's game.

The Cavs have dropped seven of their last 10 against the Magic, and they are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in Orlando.
