C.J. will have all your updates from the Verizon Center tonight, including what happens with the starting lineup. Flip Saunders expressed considerable doubt that John Wall would play tonight earlier, and even if he does play, it's not clear who starts on the perimeter. As of right now, Wall is a game-time decision.
The Magic beat Cleveland 111-100 last night. They're also really good. VInce Carter isn't around, but you could argue that's a good thing.
GO WIZARDS!
