Magic vs. Lakers Picks
Point Spread Pick for Magic vs. Lakers
- Los Angeles Lakers to cover. (4 Units)
The Lakers have won five of their last eight home games, while the Magic have lost four of their last six road games. Los Angeles has the edge here because they play well offensively at home, scoring more than 117 points per game, while making 49 percent of their shots. Their ball movement has been good, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than nine offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also cut down their turnovers in recent games, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Magic aren’t very good defensively, and they’re giving up more than 116 points per game on the road, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Lakers. Take Los Angeles to cover the spread.
