Season series: First meeting; Magic won series 2-0 in 2022-23
The Magic suffered a 106-103 loss in this very same building on Monday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, although Orlando hung on for the cover as a 3.5-point underdog at most shops. The Under cashed for the 3rd time in 3 games to date, while Orlando is a perfect 3-0 against the spread (ATS).
The big news for the Clippers is that they’re likely to be quite shorthanded. That’s because Los Angeles completed a trade overnight to acquire G James Harden from the Philadelphia 76ers, as well as F P.J. Tucker, while the Clips send swingman Nic Batum, F Robert Covington, F KJ Martin and F Marcus Morris Sr.'east, while also swapping picks.
