Will LeBron make it to the postseason? This Magic vs Lakers game is more important for Los Angeles than it is for Orlando. The Lakers are now in the Play In, but also close to elimination. Meanwhile, Orlando still has hope of qualifying, even if, at this point, it is easier for Shaq to reinforce the team.

Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 28-42
The Magic attained 6 victories in a row and had Moritz Wagner and Paolo Banchero playin at an excellent level, but after that positive stretch, they have not managed to link more than three wins in a row.
The team remains hopeful about Banchero’s performance, as winning franchises could be built with him. Regardless, players sometimes give great games like the win against Miami 126-114 in overtime, in which he provided 9 assists and a double-double from Wendell Carter Jr (27 points and 11 boards), and sometimes they show inconsistency, just as they did this season.
After that win, the Magic lost two games in a row, to San Antonio 132-114 and to Phoenix 116-113. Still, the team remains hopeful, even if it is 4 games away and time is running short. It seems impossible.
Betting on Los Angeles Lakers
- Regular Season Record: 34-37
The Lakers are still searching for a Play-In spot. They want to extend the season as long as possible because they know that if LeBron comes back, he could still be able to aid them. The problem is that they have just suffered two defeats in a row and are close to being eliminated.
The Rockets, who are eliminated, defeated the Lakers 114-110 and made everything more difficult for them. Anthony Davis, who has been the backbone of the team without James, did not play, and they lost their compass a bit. The points came from the bench with Austin Reaves, who scored 24.
The last game against the Mavericks at home ended with a 111-110 score, so unfortunately, the team and Davis got heartbroken in the final moments of the game. Maxi Kleber surprised everyone by making a last-second shot known as a “buzzerbeater.” At the time, his team was winning by a score of 108-110, and they had been putting in a lot of effort to defend the Mavs’ offense. Despite their efforts, Kleber took a quick shot and helped Dallas win the game.
This affects them a bit because another loss would take them out of the Play-In. The Lakers suffer.
JefeBet Prediction
At home, the Lakers can’t lose again, and Orlando is not a very strong team. Davis said after the loss that it was his responsibility to show leadership, so we doubt they will make it three in a row and defeat the Magic, which will keep them in the fight for the postseason.
Prediction: Orlando Magic 112-123 Los Angeles Lakers
