Little on the line when Magic host Bulls

Apr 9, 2008 - 2:46 PM Chicago (30-47) at Orlando (48-29) 7:00 pm EDT

ORLANDO, Florida (Ticker) - The Orlando Magic, who already have secured an Eastern Conference playoff berth, won't have much to play for when they host the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.

The Southeast Division champions, Orlando can't catch Boston (62-15) or Detroit (55-22) in the East and are guaranteed to finish third in the conference standings regardless of how they play over their remaining five games.

Chicago, one of the teams that appeared to be among the elite in the Eastern Conference this season, has been one of the East's biggest disappointments instead.

Tuesday's 95-88 loss against Miami - the league's worst team - officially eliminated the Bulls from postseason consideration.
