The road Clippers come into this one off a 119-117 win over the Charlotte Hornets. They entered that one as 6.5-point road favorites and failed to cover for the third time in as many outings.
The home Magic come into this one off a 109-102 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. They entered that one as 10.5-point underdogs and covered for the first time in five outings.
On the year, Los Angeles is 11-14 against the spread while Orlando is 10-14-1.
These two teams have not faced off during the 2022-23 regular season.
Los Angeles Clippers
Health has been the biggest theme and talking point for L.A. This group entered the season largely considered the favorites in NBA circles for their combination of star power and depth, but that depth has been forced to carry the load in keeping this team competitive without Kawhi Leonard or Paul George around night in and night out.
The good news for the Clippers, at least at the moment, is that Kawhi and PG13 are scheduled to play on Wednesday.
Unfortunately, the Clippers do list Norman Powell, Luke Kennard, Marcus Morris and John Wall as OUT.
On the year, Los Angeles is scoring 107.2 points per contest, which puts the team in dead last 30th.
In terms of advanced stats, the Clippers score 106.4 points per 100 possessions. That number places them in 28th.
Defensively, this groups allows 108.8 points per night, putting them in 5th so far this season.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, Los Angeles gives up 107.8 points per 100 possessions—a number that ranks 5th on the year.
Orlando Magic
Orlando comes into this one without any sort of momentum whatsoever. The team has last 11 of 12 contests including nine straight, and it needs a serious jolt on the offensive end.
On the season, Orlando scores 107.6 points per night—a number that ranks 29th as of this writing Tuesday night.
Looking at the advanced stats, they’re scoring 106.7 points per 100 possessions—a number that puts them in 26th at this point in the 2022-23 season.
Defensively, Orlando is giving up 114.2 points per night, which ranks No. 18 in the NBA.
Looking at Defensive Efficiency, the Magic give up 112.4 points per 100 possessions, putting them in No. 5 across the Association.
On the injury report, Orlando lists Chuma Okeke, Gary Harris, Jalen Suggs and Wendell Carter Jr. as OUT.

Free Los Angeles Clippers vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction:
You know I love a good underdog, but this ain’t it.
With Kawhi and Paul George on the floor Wednesday, this one should be in L.A.’s control early. The team should have a fine day scoring with the stars back and going up against a bottom-half defense, and the Clips’ defense won’t have any trouble at all containing Orlando’s paltry offense.
Give this one to the road Clippers, and give it to them big.
