Friday will see an East vs. West matchup as the Los Angeles Lakers travel to the Sunshine State to take on the Orlando Magic.
Both teams will be on the second game of their own back-to-backs, and both could certainly use a win to end a tough stretch.
After starting the season as one of the most surprising teams in the NBA, the Lakers have crashed back down to Earth in December.
They have lost 10 of their last 11 games, but this game will be the last of a grueling road trip.

Orlando Magic
It is tough to get a grasp on how good the Orlando Magic under new head coach Frank Vogel. At times, they look downright bad, but for the most part, they seem to have begun upon winning foundation.
Sticking to the usual Vogel style, the Magic are one of the league’s better defensive teams. However, they are one of the worst on offense.
