The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Orlando Magic at the Amway Center on Saturday night.
The Los Angeles Lakers are starting to regroup now with six wins in their last seven games and will aim for a fifth straight win after beating the Trailblazers in a 126-117 home win on Wednesday. LeBron James led the team with 44 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, JaVale McGee added 20 points while Brandon Ingram had 17 points and four assists. As a team, the Lakers shot 47% of the field and 15 of 32 from the three-point line, but they still kept control of the game after losing 13 points. James threw the team on a 27-10 run to close the second quarter. Unfortunately, Rajon Rondo has fractured his right hand. He has had surgery and should remain seated for four to five weeks.

Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic have also played well lately, having won five of their last seven games. They will feel good after beating the 76ers in a 111-106 home win on Wednesday. Nikola Vucevic led the team with 30 points on 10 of the 19 shots, Aaron Gordon added 17 points with six assists while Terrence Ross scored 15 points. As a team, the Magic fired 50% of the field and 12 of 28 points from the three-point line as they appeared to be down against the 76ers before scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter. trailing by no less than 16 points.
Looking at the betting trends, the Lakers are 1-4 Away in their last five games against a team with a loss record, 0-6 against the gap in their six last games against the Eastern Conference and 4-1 against the gap in their last five games on the road. a team with a lost home record. The Magic have a 2-6 ATS record in their last eight home games, a 5-16 record against 21, their last 21 games played over two days off and a 19-44 record against their last 63 games as a result of a win.
Face to face, the home team has a record of 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings, that of the minus is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings in Orlando and the Lakers are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in Orlando.
The Lakers seem to have overcome the bump as they begin to make some wins, but they were cruel in their last game as they lost Rondo to the fractured hand that would miss him for a long time. The Magic have been a bit under the radar lately, but they will remain confident after defeating the 76ers in an impressive win back Wednesday. I'm tempted to go with magic and points, but as they are 2-6 Away in their last eight home games, I'm staying with the Lakers to win their fifth consecutive victory behind a other big game of James.
