Orlando and Lakers recently met in Los Angeles, where the Lakers achieved a labor victory - 106:103. Will the Magic take revenge from the Californians at home? Let's choose what to bet on the next match with LeBron James.

In the previous game, Orlando finished its road trip. In Salt Lake City, the team fought hard against Utah - 115:113. Paolo Banquero showed himself - 30 points and nine rebounds, Wendell Carter made a double-double - 14 points + 10 rebounds, Franz Wagner scored 21 points, 18 - Cole Anthony. It was a great end to the tourney, considering that the Magic lost twice before the meeting with Utah - in Los Angeles to the Clippers (102:118) and the Lakers (103:106).

In the last meeting, the Lakers played their second overtime game in this championship. In the battle for Los Angeles, the team beat the Clippers - 130:125 (117:117). LeBron had 35 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists. Anthony Davis scored 27 points, made ten rebounds, and four blocked shots. D'Angelo Russell scored 27 points. The win over the Clippers was the first for the Lakers in 12 head-to-head meetings.

At the start of the championship, the Lakers do not win confidently. In games against the Clippers and Sacramento, the team was stronger in overtime, both times with a difference of five points. In the home game against Orlando, the Lakers won by three points. In this regard, in the upcoming match, it seems possible to bet on Orlando with a plus handicap. Where's the guarantee that the Lakers will outscore one of the best defenses in the league on their court by more than five points? We wouldn't be surprised to see the Magic win here.
