Orlando Magic vs. Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Lakers played six preseason games and won just two of them. Then, the season-opening loss at Denver saw them allow 119 points, and the questions were on. Anthony Davis did not score in the second half of the game.
But, the second game was much better, as they stormed ahead and beat the Suns by five. The loss on Sunday was a tough one, but seeing Anthony Davis have a big game bodes well for the rest of 2023
Through two games this season, the Lakers are anchored by James and Davis. Davis is scoring 25.7 points per game, while James is adding 23. The rest of the Lakers offense goes through D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves. The Lakers are also using Gabe Vincent as a point guard coming off the bench, while Christian Wood has played 17 minutes off the bench.
The Lakers will play back-to-back home games, as they host the Clippers on Wednesday. After that, Los Angeles is on the road for four straight games, starting in Orlando, before trips to Miami, Houston, and Phoenix.
Magic’s Recent Rest
For Orlando, they have not played since Friday night. In the win on Friday, Franz Wagner poured in 23 points. Cole Anthony scored 20 on Wednesday and it was the second straight season that the Magic won their home opener. Orlando is led in scoring by Wagner with 21 points per game. Next is Anthony, with 19 per game, while Paolo Banchero is adding 13 per game.
When looking at NBA Stats – Wendell Carter is providing service in the pain for the Magic and scoring 8 points per game, and ripping down 8.5 rebounds in just shy of 27 minutes per game.
The Magic are playing their second of four straight road games. Following this game, Orlando is at the Clippers on Tuesday, and then Utah on Thursday. After that, the Magic will head home and play four straight home games.
Orlando Magic vs Los Angeles Lakers Betting Picks
This should be a pretty good basketball game. The Orlando Magic are well rested, while the Lakers could have some tired legs from their overtime loss on Sunday. THe Lakers are definitely a veteran squad, so expect some guys to get some long rest.
Los Angeles does not have a deep bench. In the end, the young Orlando squad uses their legs more and wins this game, despite being on the road. The Magic continue their impressive start, and win their third straight game.
When looking at Magic vs Lakers odds, the final bet for this game is the Orlando Magic +2.5 over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday. Good luck with all your NBA Picks today!
