The Los Angeles Lakers are riding high on a six-game winning streak, positioning themselves as the third-best team in the Western Conference with a 10-4 record. To maintain this momentum, they face the Orlando Magic, who hold a 9-6 record.

Key player Anthony Davis, despite a diagnosis of plantar fasciitis, is probable to play and is having an impressive season. Meanwhile, Rui Hachimura is out with an ankle sprain, and Bronny James is doubtful due to a heel contusion.

Several other Lakers players are also sidelined, while the Magic will miss Paolo Banchero and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for their upcoming matchup.
