The LA Lakers Try And Muster Energy To Battle The Orlando Magic
The LA Lakers Try And Muster Energy To Battle The Orlando MagicThe LA Lakers are near the end of a long east coast road trip against a very talented schedule and may not have too much left in the tank when they face the Orlando Magic.


BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the NBA and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule.

The Lakers are off a huge win against the Celtics in a revenge game. The Lakers won, holding Boston to 30.2 percent shooting in the second half. The result avenged the Lakers' loss to Boston at Staples Center on Jan. 30. The Lakers also have lost to Miami once and San Antonio twice. After a game with the Knicks the Lakers will have one more game against a power opponent when they take on the Orlando Magic.

Kobe Bryant has assured everyone that will ask that the Lakers are not distracted by all the Carmelo Anthony trade talk. The Lakers shrugged off all the speculation that they might be interested in trading Andrew Bynum to Denver in a deal to get Carmelo Anthony. Kobe Bryant likened the rumors to "UFO's," and Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he wondered why reporters were bothering him with such material. Bynum said he didn't believe the rumors considering no one from the Lakers had said anything to him.

The Magic are starting to gel as a team. The Magic are battling Atlanta for the No. 4 seed in the East, which would mean getting home-court advantage against the No. 5 seed.

Head coach Van Gundy said that part of the Magic's earlier troubles has involved the chemistry since the trades that brought Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu, Earl Clark and Gilbert Arenas. The offensive production has improved, but the overall team has not. Van Gundy said he misses not having any role players to plug holes.

The Lakers are in a tough spot here and the Magic should get a big win.
