I give the Kings credit... even though they have so many injuries, they played CLE and CHI really tough on the road, just barely losing.
There should be no excuse for the Magic to lose this one, though. The Kings are missing three key players, lead the league in TOs, and this is their first home game after a long road trip.
As always, it will be interesting to see the player rotation SVG uses.
Magic by 10...
