The Magic are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Lakers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The over is 6-0 in Magic last 6 overall. The under is 9-3-1 in Lakers last 13 overall. The Magic are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles and 0-3-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
The Los Angeles Lakers are at home, playing well, and need to win games like this to close in on a playoff spot. The Lakers should be favored and probably should win comfortably. However, this line is a little thick for a Lakers squad that's been hit or miss, and the Magic have had a lot of success covering numbers on the road. Also, the Magic lose as underdogs by an average of 2.4 points. This could be a close one late. Give me the Magic and the points.
