The Orlando Magic are riding a strong February stretch as they prepare to face the Los Angeles Lakers in an NBA game on Tuesday. The Magic have gone 5–2 this month and 7–4 since late January, boosted by standout guard Desmond Bane, who has scored at least 22 points in nine of his last 11 games. Bane led Orlando with 36 points in their recent win over the LA Clippers, while Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. also contributed significantly.
Meanwhile, the Lakers are seeking to improve their offense after a heavy loss to the Boston Celtics. Their key players, including LeBron James and Luka Dončić, struggled to score efficiently in that game. Historically, the Magic have had success against the Lakers recently, including three straight wins dating back to 2023.
