It was a hard-fought contest,
but Orlando took a 110-101 defeat against Milwaukee on Monday. Evan Fournier put forth a good effort for the
losing side as he had 26 points. Terrence
Ross highlighted his season-high 23-point performance with four
three-pointers.
Fournier leads the Magic in
scoring with 20.0 points per game and has reached the 20-point mark in four of
his past five games.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles had
enough points to win and then some against Minnesota on Sunday, taking the
matchup 142-125. Anthony Davis had
a dynamite game for the Lakers; he had 50 points and six assists in addition to
seven boards. It was Davis' first 50-point game as a Laker and the fourth in
his career. He has scored 89 points in his past two games.
Davis was named the Western
Conference Player of the Week after averaging 35.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.5
assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.8 steals.
The Lakers have won 14 of their
last 15 and are tied with the Bucks for
the league's best record.
Orlando enters the game with
6.83 blocked shots per game on average, good for second best in the league. But
the Lakers are even better: they rank first in the league when it comes to
blocked shots per game, with 7.13 on average.
So who wins Lakers vs. Magic?
And which side of the spread hits in well over 50 percent of simulations?
