The Orlando Magic (36-39) play host to the Los Angeles Clippers (42-32) at Kia Center in Monday's NBA cross-conference clash. The Magic are eighth in the Eastern Conference table, while the Clippers are eighth in the Western Conference. Here's our match prediction. 

The Orlando Magic did not let fatigue affect their performance in the second night of a back-to-back when they beat the Sacramento Kings 121-91 at Kia Center.

Paolo Banchero led the way with 24 points and Franz Wagner contributed 21. As a team, they shot 49.4% from the field and went 18-for-39 from the three-point range. 

The Magic have been in great shape in the NBA winning four of their last five games. However, when playing at home, they have won just two of their last nine games.

The Los Angeles Clippers, on the other hand, suffered a narrow 127-122 away against the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

Norman Powell led the way with a game-high 34 points, while James Harden contributed 24 points, and had eight rebounds and eight dimes. As a team, they shot 48.4% from the field and went 16-for-41 from the three-point range. 

The Clippers head into this clash with seven wins in their last nine games. They have a 4-1 record when playing away. This is an improvement considering they had lost four straight.
