Los Angeles Lakers vs Orlando Magic 12/11/19 NBA Betting Odds and Pick

The Los Angles Lakers hope to extend their 11 game road winning streak when they head to the Magic Kingdom to take on the Orlando Magic at the Amway Center on Wednesday night.

Eleven Straight Road Wins

Since losing to the Clippers on opening night, the Lakers have won 21 out of their next 23 games including 11 straight on the road. The Lakers have not lost on the road in seven weeks and a win on Wednesday will give the Lakers the second-longest winning streak in franchise history.

Anthony Davis has been named as Western Conference Player of the Week as he put up 35.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 blocks, and 1.8 steals during the Lakers’ 4-0 run last week. AD has blended well with LeBron James who is leading the league in assists this season.

The Lakers rank 8th in the league in scoring at 114.5 points per game and they are 4th in passing at 26.7 assists per game. Los Angeles ranks 14th in rebounding at 45.2 boards grabbed per contest. The Purple and Gold have the 5th best scoring defense in the league at 104.6 points per game allowed.

Win Streak Ends

The Orlando Magic saw their season-best four-game winning streak end at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday as the team begins a tough three-game stretch that has the Lakers and Rockets next on their schedule. Orlando dropped to one game below the .500 mark at 11-12 on the season.

Evan Fournier leads the Magic in scoring at 20.0 points per game this season. Jonathan Isaac leads the team in rebounding at 7.3 boards per game and D.J. Augustin is the team’s top passer at 4.7 assists per game. Terence Ross is coming off a season-best 23 point effort against the Bucks.

The Magic have the third-lowest scoring output in the league at 103.0 points per game. They are also giving up the third-fewest points per game this season at 103.0 points per game. Orlando is ranked 13th in rebounding at 45.6 boards grabbed per contest and they are 24th in passing at 22.4 assists per game.

Who Wins?

The Lakers are 14-1 SU in their last 15 games played. Los Angeles is 11-0 SU in their last 11 road games. The Magic are 4-1 SU in their last five games played. Orlando is 5-1 SU in their last six games played at home. Head to head, the Magic are 6-4 SU in their last 10 games played against the Lakers. Orlando is also 6-0 SU in their last six home games played against the L.A. Lakers.

Orlando has won four out of their last five games played but they are coming off a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and will face the Houston Rockets after hosting the Lakers. This is an Orlando team that is 8-4 at home this season but their four losses have been against teams above the .500 mark.

The Lakers have not lost outside Staples Center this season and their lone road loss this year came at the hands of their cross-town rival Clippers on opening night. The Purple and Gold have won 11 in a row on the road and Anthony Davis is coming off the 4th 50-point game of his career.

The Magic have beaten the bad and mediocre teams but have not done well against teams with winning records. The Lakers are the best team so far this season. Anthony Davis was recently named as Western Conference Player of the Week and looks to continue to dominate on both sides of the court.
