LAL vs ORL Dream11 Prediction:
The NBA landscape is constantly changing, and a team can go on a long losing or winning streak at any time. With COVID-19 still looming and injuries in full swing, a lot of the campaign is taking a beating. The Orlando Magic face the underperforming Los Angeles Lakers in this game, which is plagued by injuries. The Magic have four times as many losses as victories, while the Lakers are only one game away from a 50 percent victory rate.
It’s logical that Magic is having difficulties. There is inexperience and many frailties among their major players, who are still in their early twenties. Furthermore, the team has been without a number of key players since the start of the season, and Magic’s season is more about development than a deep run in the playoffs.
However, the Lakers’ ups and downs are inexplicable. You should win more games when you have three superstars surrounded by more than capable shooters. Anything less than a title for the Lakers will disappoint their fans, but they are barely in the playoffs right now.
Host: Los Angeles Lakers
Visitors: Orlando Magic
Match Timing: 13 December, @ 08:00 AM

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Lakers: They need a winning streak
With a team like the Lakers, expecting a five-game win streak would not be a surprise before the season began. However, that has not been the case at all so deep into the season and the team has followed a strange pattern: win, loss, win, win, loss… This is frustrating because even with two among the Westbrook, James, and Davis with full health should have notched a record like 16-9 or something so far. The Lakers need a spark more than a trade. The roster is stacked, the system may need to change!
Magic: Promising
To be honest, even if they have been terrible in terms of the record, Orlando is brewing something special. With Wagner, Carter Jr., and Bamba in the frontcourt, the team can lay a foundation for a long-term fort as these three have shown a ton of promise. Cole Anthony can become a high-quality 25+ PPG and 7+ APG guard and he has been on point with his own performances. The Orlando Magic may not even win 20 games this season but the team has better pieces than a squad like Pistons(in my opinion).
