Los Angeles Lakers at Orlando Magic Betting Pick

On Saturday, the Los Angeles Lakers will play at the Orlando Magic in a rematch of an NBA game played last week in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Lakers are 3-2 on the season, and have won back to back games. The Lakers last placed on Wednesday, and smacked the Clippers. For the Magic, they are also 3-2. Orlando took down the Jazz in Salt Lake City on Thursday. The Lakers come into this game at -3.5 over the Magic.

Lakers Seeking Third Straight Led by Big Two

Los Angeles beat the Magic 106-103 last week, and then topped it off a win over the Clippers. The Lakers are scoring 114 points per game, and mostly, the Lakers are staying healthy this season in the early going. That gives LeBron James and Anthony Davis a full arsenal of weapons around them.

James and Davis lead the team in scoring, with a combined 50.6 points per game. Davis is off to an outstanding start, with 26 points and 13 rebounds per game. James is scoring just shy of 25 per game, and also adding over 9 rebounds and 6 assists per game. The rest of the Lakers rotation includes D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, and Taurean Prince.

The Lakers are starting a four game road trip. They go to Miami, Houston and Phoenix the rest of the week, before coming home to host the Trail Blazers on the 12th of November.

Young Magic Squad Improving

For the Orlando Magic, they were able to split their West Coast road trip with the win over the Jazz. The other win was over Portland. Frank Wagner is the top scorer for the Magic, with 18.6 points per game. Paolo Banchero continues to show improvements in his game, and is scoring 16 points, and dishing out 4.6 assists per game.

Markelle Fultz is another guy with steady improvements. He leads the team with 50% field goal rate, while playing 28 minutes per game, and scoring 11 points. Fultz is questionable for this game, along with Gary Harris, while Wendall Carter Jr. will not play.  The Magic are looking to get to the postseason this season, after winning 34 games a season ago.

Orlando is starting a four game home stand. The Mavericks, Hawks and Bucks will come to town this week, before they start a road trip next Tuesday at the Nets.

Lakers Top Magic in Orlando

Too much LeBron. Too much Anthony Davis. Too much experience. And on the other side, still too much inexperience. Look, the Magic are getting better. Orlando is going to be a fun team to follow and track all season long. But, in the end, the Lakers’ experience, and talent is too much for the Magic in this game. The final bet for the Saturday affair in Orlando is the Los Angeles Lakers -3.5 over the Orlando Magic. Enjoy the game, and best of luck with all your NBA Betting!
