Los Angeles still is trying to figure things out while playing without injured Anthony Davis, but it will get an opportunity for a win and cover here against Orlando, which has the worst record in the league and lost 106-94 in the only meeting this season. The Magic have lost three in a row and 13 of 14, including 123-110 at Philadelphia on Wednesday when Joel Embiid scored 50 points in only 27 minutes. Orlando averaged only 90 points in its previous two games against Dallas and Portland. The Lakers have covered four of five versus teams with .400 or less winning percentages, and the Magic are 1-7 ATS playing with one day of rest. Orlando is a miserable 5-21-1 ATS in its last 27 home games and 15-38-2 ATS as a home underdog. Take the Lakers for a Max Play.
