It's the fourth straight road game for Los Angeles in a six-game trek. They come off a near-perfect win at Miami, as Luka Doncic scored 60 points. In the last two games, LeBron James made 21 of 22 shots over a span of seven quarters. They're not going to be able to keep up this white-hot shooting, especially on such a long trip. Against Miami, the Lakers allowed 51% shooting, ranking 15th in the NBA in points allowed and 26th in opponent shooting (48.4%), while the offense ranks 24th from the charity stripe (76.6%). Orlando is the sixth-best team in the East and is 21-12 at home. They come home after playing three or four away. They rank eighth from the free-throw line (80%), while their defense ranks 11th in points allowed and eighth in defending beyond the arc. Orlando has won four of its last five at home, including a close loss to defending champion Oklahoma City (113-108) as a +9.5 underdog, and a 128-122 win over Cleveland as a +3.5 dog. Play Orlando on the moneyline.
