The Los Angeles Lakers, aiming to return to winning ways, are set to play host to the Orlando Magic at Crypto.com Arena in an NBA cross-conference clash. Here's our match prediction.
The Los Angeles Lakers are 34-22 on the season. This has them sitting in fifth place in the Western Conference standings. Surprisingly, the root of their success this season has been on the road. They've recorded 18 wins from 29 games compared to 16 wins at home.
In their recent NBA game, they faced the Celtics at home. Unfortunately, they suffered a 111-89 defeat. Luca Doncic, who played in his second game after recovering from a hamstring injury, led with 25 points.
Before this setback, the Lakers had won back-to-back games. That won't ruffle too many feathers, seeing as they've won five of their last eight games.
The Orlando Magic are 30-26 on the season. This has them sitting in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings. The visitors are also one game behind the sixth-seeded 76ers.
In their recent match, they faced the Clippers and secured a narrow 111-109 away victory. Desmond Bane posted a team-high 36 points on 13-of-13 shooting.
The Magic are playing their final match of a four-game road trip. In unfamiliar territory, they've lost three of their last five matches. In fact, they are 3-4 without Franz Wagner, who continues to recover from an ankle injury.
