The Magic will be without Franz Wagner, Jonathan Isaac, and Anthony Black. Wendell Carter Jr. is questionable.
Maxi Kleber is out for the Lakers. Austin Reaves is questionable.
The Magic are at home and have won four straight games against the Lakers, but I’m still laying the soft line. The Lakers are as hot as ever, positioning a 9-1 SU and ATS record in their last 10 games. Luka has caught fire and all of a sudden the Lakers are positioning themselves nicely in the west standings. The Magic have been hit or miss all year and are 30-38-1 ATS. The Lakers are 40-29-1 ATS on the season. This line is soft and we’ve faded the Magic a lot this season. That doesn’t stop here. Give me the Lakers to keep this train rolling.
