Randy’s Pick

The Los Angeles Lakers should be favored for obvious reasons, as they're the better team and at home. The Lakers have also won 6 straight meetings against the Magic. With that said, the Magic are playing well through 2 games, especially on the defensive side. The Lakers are also on the end of a back to back with a game that included overtime. AD played 42 minutes, LeBron played 39 minutes and Russell played 41 minutes. This is an older team and a quick turnaround. The younger Magic have to view this as an opportunity. Give me the road dog.
