Video Vault:

1) Dwight Howard tells Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald that he would listen if the Celtics came calling for him as a free agent this summer or next. Howard said his main priority is being on a team that wants to win and has the mentality to do what it takes to accomplish that goal. Nick Halden of BleacherReport makes one Celtics fan's case for Howard to head to Bean Town.

2) Rajon Rondo will once again miss tonight's game, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Those injuries have sapped the Celtics of a lot of manpower and have left them slightly out of shape. Gary Washburn of Boston.com writes the Celtics owe Doc Rivers a better send off for coming back.

3) Danny Nowell of MagicBasketball.net concludes the Magic do have mental toughness and chemistry inside them after seeing the team bounce back in Tuesday's win over Indiana.

4) Tonight is another chance for the Magic to face their arch nemesis from Boston and try to solve the Celtics defense, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel writes.

5) Eddy Rivera explains what Earl Clark did to show off his defensive potential.

6) Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel writes that the Magic should give Daniel Orton a chance and let him play before unceremoniously letting him go in free agency this summer.

7) Glen Davis warns Avery Bradley... sort of.
