There is NBA action on Monday, March 24 that sees a couple of teams trying to prepare for the playoff push sharing the court as the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Orlando Magic at the Kia Center in Orlando, Fla.

Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers lost their second game in a row on their road trip out east. On Monday night, they fell to the Orlando Magic by a final score of 118-106. Over their last 10 games, the Lakers have gone just 3-10. With the playoffs right around the corner, Los Angeles is struggling at a bad time.

The Los Angeles Lakers started a four-game road trip on Monday against the Orlando Magic badly needing a win to stop their recent skid. They had lost six of their last nine games, and their defense, which had been outstanding ever since late January, has shown signs of slippage.
