Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction:
Don’t look now, but the Magic have Play In Tournament vibes and seem like a team to watch over the next week weeks. If 2023 starts strong, they may just ditch their tanking status, Victor Wembanyama be damned.
I’d expect the Magic at home to take care of business. They’re taking this whole winning thing seriously enough at the moment, and with the Lakers struggling in Anthony Davis’ absence—not to mention a potential LeBron James absence—Orlando is the easier team to trust on Tuesday.
Give this one to the Magic at Amway Center both straight up and against the spread.
