Austin Reaves’ injury and a tightly compacted schedule give the visiting team a disadvantage, and my Lakers vs. Magic predictions call for an upset victory by the home team. Here are my best free NBA picks for this cross-conference matchup on Saturday, March 21.

Lakers vs Magic prediction Lakers vs Magic best bet: Magic moneyline (+125) The Orlando Magic have dropped three straight games after winning seven in a row, and they can earn a much-needed victory tonight. Over the last 10 games, the Los Angeles Lakers and Magic both rank in the top-11 in offensive and defensive efficiency, and despite LA’s recent surge, the Magic can hang with them. The Lakers will play their fourth road game in six days, and Austin Reaves could sit this one out.

LA sports a +3. 4 net rating with Reaves, but that falls to -1. 5 without him.
