Orlando came up just short losing, 106-104, to the Clippers yesterday when Reggie Jackson hit a 20-foot jumper with 2.2 seconds left to win it for Los Angeles. The Magic covered as an 8.5-point underdog, and they'll play on the same court tonight against the Lakers, who are playing their third game in four nights, including two on the road at Memphis and Oklahoma City. LeBron James scored 33 points against the Thunder and is listed as probable as he still isn't totally recovered from an abdominal strain and Anthony Davis (knee) is questionable. Orlando isn't winning many games, but it is 4-2 ATS its last six games. Also, the Magic are 6-1-1 ATS the past eight meetings with the Lakers, who are 5-17 ATS their past 22 games following an ATS win and 5-15 ATS as home favorites (8-20-1 ATS as favorites overall). Take the Magic for a Max Play.
