The Lakers already know what it's like to beat the Magic in the first game of the series, defeating them by a score of 106-94 in a game with LeBron James unleashed with a Triple-Double of 30 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. The Lakers come out as favorites and will seek to achieve an important victory that will return them to the path of victory.
The young point guard from Orlando is having a great time leading a very young team and standing out among them. Anthony is averaging 18.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, making him the Magic's leading scorer and assister. The 15th pick in the 2020 draft has been developing much more and we hope to see him leading Orlando for much longer.
The Lakers star is going through a great moment as the team's leading scorer with an average of 28.8 points per game. The figure of Los Angeles continues to demonstrate his high level at 36 years old, despite missing some games due to injury and others due to Covid protocols. The forward is a fundamental piece for the team, if LeBron is good, the Lakers are better, his contribution is essential for positive results to happen and makes Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook give their best.
The Orlando team is rebuilding and its youngsters have begun to show positive things. At the moment, Cole Anthony and Wendell Carter Jr. are the leaders of the roster, yet their rookies, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs, are showing great progress and, without a doubt, will be essential pieces for the future of the team. The Magic host Los Angeles after a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers by a score of 123-110.
The Lakers come to this second matchup between the two teams with a 111-104 loss against the Pacers. The Los Angeles team has not been able to get a better rhythm and has disappointed a bit with respect to the expectations that were had. At the moment, the team has a record of 22 wins and 23 losses. Although we cannot speak of a great success in the Lakers, without a doubt, these are not the results that were expected, we will see if the team continues on an upward slope before the end of the season and see if more changes will come in search of placing in a position that gives them a direct ticket to the postseason. The biggest problem facing the front office is the injury sideline of Anthony Davis, who will be out for the rest of the month.
The Amway Center located in the city of Orlando will host this duel between teams from different conferences, one of them fighting to get into the Play-In and another in the process of reconstruction. This stadium has a capacity for 18,800 fans and was inaugurated in 2008.
