More than any other sport, the NBA is about situations and good spots.
This one sets up well for the Lakers. LA is 7-0 at home. The Magic are 2-7 on the road.
Orlando played the Clippers last night and lost, 104-93. While this isn't a travel spot for the Magic since both the Lakers and Clippers play at Staples Center, it is Orlando's third road game in four days. The Magic are taking on a hot Lakers squad that has won six consecutive games.
The Lakers have dominated the Magic, beating them in seven of the past eight games with five of the past six victories coming by at least six points.
The Magic are giving up the fewest points per game in the NBA, but really miss their superstar, injured Paolo Banchero. Orlando ranks 28th in scoring. The Magic have failed to score more than 98 points in three of their last four games.
