The Cavs seem to be the favorite since they play in their home arena, and they already beat the Lakers a month ago. However, both teams have been performing well lately, considering the Lakers have won 8 of their last 10 games while the Cavs have won 7 of their last 10 games. So, this game should be more interesting and more competitive. I wonder if the Cavs will be able to hold off LeBron and Davis this time.

Who knows what's happened with Davis, is he sick? He only played 8 minutes and Ham said he had a fever. It's a big loss for the Lakers considering how he's played in recent games. Definitely the team missed him in the game with the Cavaliers, I hope that he will recover quickly and return to the game as soon as possible, in recent games he showed how important he is for the team.

He is actually sick as reported, down with flu, he still try to play, however, his body is not cooperating and he has to take a sit and rest throughout the game. And as he is their best scorer, they've lost the game.

But still good though, at least Davis didn't force himself, otherwise if might have a bad effect on him in the long run. And hopefully he will be back in their next game, fully rested and healthy again. Yes, I do agree that he is very important to the team as his recent numbers will tell.

Before the game, he was already probable because of a back injury. I guess he forced himself to play to win but that backfired and actually caused him a fever. We do not know how this will affect AD, this could have cost him more games to miss if he aggravated his back injury. Hopefully, it did not.

Orlando Magic - Los Angeles Clippers

Orlando Magic are not doing well at all, they only have 5 wins and 20 losses, everything gets worse because they come from a 9-loss streak and only had 1 win in the last 10 games, without a doubt that coach Jamahl Mosley must not be sleeping well, while the Clippers come to this game with 14 wins and 11 losses, and in their last 10 games they have won 4 losses and 6 wins, and a much better result compared to the Orlando Magic, but the Orlando Magic will be playing at home so that can be an advantage for them, although the bookmakers are giving a good advantage to the Clippers, I still think it will be a balanced game

With Kawhi at the starting lineup tonight I think that Clippers has more chances of winning even though he might have limited minutes. I think it's a no-brainer to root for Clippers to win this game even if they are away. No, I don't think it will be balanced at all when PG and Kawhi is on the court.

Every game he played the winning chance is always higher. Why? It's actually simple and it's not always in the stat sheet. He can do offense and he can do defense. Specially defense where you tap the ball and someone gets it, it won't add as a steal in your stat but will be given to the one who claimed the ball.
Clippers will win that a 95 percent chance. Magic have the firepower but Clippers has many players to counter that.

I do not expect too much from Kawhi right now. After the series of injuries that he got, he is no longer the same athlete that won the championship for the Spurs and Raptors. He is very limited right now and we may never see him carry the Clippers to Western COnference Finals or NBA Finals. It may be the start of the decline of his career. He is still a good player, but with limited time on the court and the limit he put on himself to protect his legs and knees, he cannot perform the same monster performance he has done before. I do not think he could get back to the same level even if he only plays every other game.
