The Washington Wizards and the Orlando Magic are set to lock horns at Capital One Arena in Friday's NBA  Eastern Conference matchup. The Wizards are dead last in the Eastern Conference table, while the Magic are eighth. Here's our match prediction.

The Washington Wizards have lost their last two NBA games. Before this unfortunate run, they were on a two-match winning streak.

The Wizards wrapped up a seven-game road trip with a 128-112 loss to the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. After that result, they dropped to 15-53 in the Eastern Conference table.

Brian Keefe's men now return to their humble abode the Capital One Arena. Unfortunately, they have no fond memories when playing at this venue, posting a 2-13 record. However, their last match ended in a narrow 125-122 victory over the Jazz.

The Orlando Magic, on the other hand, suffered a 116-108 home defeat against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.

What seemed to be a promising season has turned out to be a terrible disappointment. The Magic have not been in great form lately. The visitors head into this clash with eight losses in 11 outings.

Away from home, though, there have been signs of improvement. Jamahl Mosley's troops have won five of their last eight matches on the road. This can be considered a huge improvement for a team that was once on a seven-match losing streak from January 16 to February 4.
