CHICAGO BULLS vs. ORLANDO MAGIC
Game 1: Today, 12:30 p.m., Channel 4
* Season series: Chicago, 3-1.
* The Matchup: Here’s the series everyone has been waiting for. The Magic has the game’s best starting unit, but the Bulls have Michael Jordan and home-court advantage, making them favorites. Toni Kukoc is expected back after sitting out three games against the New York Knicks; he was ice cold before he left but during the season averaged 20 points against Orlando. The Magic has never played a postseason series without home-court advantage. In three postseasons, Orlando is only 3-9 on the road, but last spring went 2-1 in the United Center.
