The Orlando Magic are gearing up to face the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time this season, with the game set for Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena. The Magic, currently 9-7, are looking to finish their western road trip with a winning record after a recent victory against the Phoenix Suns and a loss to the LA Clippers.

On the other hand, the Lakers are riding a six-game win streak and have yet to lose at home this season, boasting a 7-0 record. New head coach JJ Redick will aim to maintain this impressive home performance against Orlando.
