Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Lakers have been on a tear as they’ve reeled off 11 wins from their last 12 games overall and they will be gunning for a ninth straight victory after outlasting the Heat in a 134-126 road win on Thursday. Luka Doncic led the team with 60 points, seven rebounds and five steals on 18 of 30 shooting, LeBron James tallied a triple-double of 19 points with 15 rebounds and 10 assists while Austin Reaves chipped in with 18 points. As a team, the Lakers shot 53 percent from the field and 14 of 32 from the 3-point line as they got off to a sloppy start and leaked 42 points in the first quarter to trail by as many as 15 points, but that only served as a wake-up call as the Lakers poured in 75 points in the second half to secure the win thanks to the hot hand of Doncic.
Orlando Magic Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have cooled off recently as they are now looking to avoid a fourth straight defeat after getting routed by the Hornets in a 130-111 road defeat on Thursday. Desmond Bane led the team with 24 points on eight of 15 shooting, Paolo Banchero added 20 points with seven assists while Jamal Cain chipped in with 15 points off the bench. As a team, the Magic shot 42 percent from the field and 14 of 42 from the 3-point line as they struggled to keep pace from the very start and trailed by 19 points at halftime and they couldn’t stop the bleeding until the deficit ballooned to 35 points.
Los Angeles v Orlando Free Prediction
The Lakers are still missing Maxi Kleber and they are keeping an eye on Austin Reaves who is questionable due to left hip soreness while the Magic have ruled out Anthony Black, Jonathan Isaac and Franz Wagner again. These teams last met on Feb 24 and it was the Magic who won by 110-109 in LA. However, the Lakers head into this contest as arguably the hottest team in the league right now and clear favorites on the road, so I will stick with Doncic and the red-hot Lakers to get the job done here.
