The Lakers are among the three best teams in basketball. They are a sizzling 14-1 in their last 15 games and unbeaten away from Staples Center going 11-0. 
I rate the Lakers close to three levels higher than Orlando. The Magic have consistently failed to step up against elite competition going 1-9 versus above average teams. 
The Lakers should be focused and energized having last played on Sunday. The Magic have failed to cover in five of their last seven home games.
