    LA Lakers vs Orlando Magic Prediction

    The Magic are still missing Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr, while the Lakers are keeping an eye on Rui Hachimura, who has been upgraded to doubtful for this. The Magic were playing great basketball before last night’s loss to the Clippers, but now they have to face the Lakers on zero days of rest, which is tough for any team. The Magic are certainly capable of easing the upset on the road, but because the line is so short, I’ll have to stick with the Lakers to get the job done at home.
