The Magic hold the season series edge.

REGULAR SEASON SERIES
Magic lead 2-1
Nov. 7: Magic 105 at Raptors 96
Feb. 20: at Raptors 127, Magic 110
Mar. 4: at Magic 102, Raptors 87

The Magic have a solid core, but the focal point of the offense is Superman. No, not Christopher Reeves, but Dwight Howard. Early on Howard was garnering heavy MVP consideration. Around him are Jameer Nelson, Hedo Turkoglu, and Rashard Lewis. Things have come together for the Magic of late. Their core is young featuring players such as Kenyon Dooling, Keith Bogans, Tony Battie, and Carlos Arroyo.

On the other side is the Raptors, featuring Chris Bosh, forgotten man in the NBA draft that included Dwayne Wade and LeBron James. Jose Calderon put up All Star numbers this season. Jamario Moon was also making waves this season, however Andrea Bargnani took a huge step backwards in his development.

In the end, the Raptors do not have an answer for Howard and the depth of the reserves will put Orlando over the top.
