Terrence Ross is averaging 16 points and 3.5 rebounds while Cole Anthony is averaging 11 points and 3.8 assists.

The Los Angeles Lakers look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Los Angeles Lakers are averaging 111 points on 48.1 percent shooting and allowing 106.3 points on 45.5 percent shooting. LeBron James is averaging 25.4 points and 7.9 rebounds while Anthony Davis is averaging 22.5 points and three assists.

The Magic are 7-15-1 ATS in their last 23 games playing on 1 days rest and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Lakers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 5-1 in Magic last 6 road games. The under is 5-1 in Lakers last 6 overall. The Magic are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
The Orlando Magic haven't been a good team this season overall, and you probably haven't seen them at their worst with Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier no longer in the mix. The Los Angeles Lakers aren't a team I'm thrilled to lay chalk with as long as LeBron and AD remain sidelined, but the Magic's roster is borderline G League status when you throw in the fact Terrence Ross and Cole Anthony are sidelined with injuries. The Magic are rough to say the least. It's the Lakers and the chalk or pass for me.
