Lakers vs. Magic: Lineups, injury reports and broadcast info for Saturday

The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Orlando Magic on Saturday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

This will be the first contest of a four-game road trip for the Lakers. They’re coming off a thrilling and intense overtime win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, which improved their season record to 3-2.

However, they’re going to be short-handed for at least a little while. Guards Gabe Vincent and Jalen Hood-Schifino and forwards Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura won’t play versus the Magic, while Taurean Prince, their starter at the 3 spot, is battling patellar tendonitis.

Orlando is also 3-2 on the season, and it has a number of young and hungry players. Forward Franz Wagner is playing very well, and Paolo Banchero is looking to build on his Rookie of the Year campaign a year ago.

These two teams met on Monday, with the Lakers squeaking by 106-103.
