With five weeks left in the regular season, the Orlando Magic reduced their magic number to three with a win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

The Magic need to win just three more games before the regular season ends in mid-April or watch the Bulls and Nets lose a trio of games over the same time frame. Either way, Orlando will clinch the Eastern Conference's third playoff berth.

Boston and Detroit have already qualified for the playoffs.
