Thursday, November 20th the NBA offers up a four-game slate including the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers who meet for the first time this season.
Orlando arrives looking to finish a back-to-back set having lost 93-104 to the Clippers on Wednesday while the Lakers last played Tuesday in a 124-118 victory versus the Jazz.
Season Series
Although the Lakers hold the all-time record between the clubs with 46 victories in 70 matches the teams split the regular season series last season with Orlando ending a seven-game losing streak to the Lakers.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Wednesday, November 20th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, November 21st.
Orlando Magic
Entering this match the Magic are streaking with six wins in a row. This follows a four-game losing streak when Orlando was adjusting to being without Paolo Banchero.
Still, this streak is tenuous at best given five of the six teams are well below .500 (Pels, Wizards, Hornets, 76ers) plus the Pacers and a banged-up Suns squad.

Magic Stats
The Magic ranks 25th offensively (109.2) and second defensively (103.9) while possessing the ninth-rated net differential of plus +5.3 this season.
Orlando performs similarly to their win/loss standing with an 8-8 record against the spread through 16 games this season.
Magic Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Wendell Carter Jr., C (downgraded to OUT — foot)
- Paolo Banchero, PF (OUT indefinitely — oblique )
Los Angeles Lakers
Like their opponent, the Lakers are on a six-game win streak and similarly have faced easy competition like four teams in tanking territory (76ers, Raptors, Pelicans, Jazz) plus the Grizzlies and Spurs.
Two things stand out during this streak:
1. LA required clutch time baskets in most of the victories (three of the last five matches)
2. When Cam Reddish is starting in place of D’Angelo Russell the Lakers are excelling offensively.
Lakers Stats
LA ranked fourth offensively (118.1), and 25th defensively (117.0), with a plus net differential of +1.1 ranking 13th overall in 2023-24.
The Lakers performed in the middle ground against the spread with a 7-7 record through 14 contests the season.
Lakers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Anthony Davis, PF (probable — foot)
- Christian Wood, PF (OUT indefinitely — knee)
- Jarred Vanderbilt, SF (OUT indefinitely — foot)
- Rui Hachimura, PF (questionable — ankle)
- Jaxson Hayes, C (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
- Jalen Hood-Schifino, SG (downgraded to OUT — hamstring)

Free NBA Prediction:
Young, athletic teams can cause the Lakers trouble and the Magic are a squad that can match up to LA’s size even without Banchero.
That said, we know LA will likely get the benefit calls and home whistle so I’m taking the points but the Lakers for the win.
