The Los Angeles Lakers make their lone visit to Central Florida in the regular season on Monday evening, visiting the Orlando Magic at 7 p.m. ET in the Kia Center.
Orlando is 33-38, eighth in the East heading into the contest. They defeated the Washington Wizards 120-105 Friday night in the nation’s capital.
Los Angeles is 43-27, fourth in the West before again meeting the Magic. They lost to the Chicago Bulls by 31 points on Saturday evening inside Crypto.com Arena.
The Magic took the first meeting between the two teams this year, but much has changed since then. Orlando played without Paolo Banchero in that November clash, but the Lakers made a seismic Luka Doncic-for-Anthony Davis swap at the trade deadline – altering the outlook of this season and future ones significantly.
