The LA Clippers take on the Orlando Magic tonight in an inter-conference matchup. For the Clippers, this game is part of a back-to-back, after defeating the Milwaukee Bucks. The Clippers are hoping to capitalize on the Lakers’ poor form and climb up the Western Conference Ladder, and get the coveted first seed in the West.
For the Orlando Magic, their season has been marred with struggles. The Magic have lost several key players this season, thanks to injuries and trades. Last week, the Magic traded All-Star center Nikola Vucevic to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for players and picks. Markelle Fultz’s absence due to injury has dampened the strong start they had made earlier in the season.
With that in mind, let us take a look at the Clippers facing the Magic.
