The Los Angeles Lakers will look to rebound from their humbling 22-point loss to the Boston Celtics on Sunday when they host the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. While star forward Franz Wagner will not play for the Magic, they will still bring a potent and powerful frontline to Crypto.com Arena.

For Los Angeles, backup center Jaxson Hayes had to leave Sunday’s game early and was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain. He was listed as doubtful for Tuesday’s matchup, but he has ultimately been ruled out, which means L.A. will have to go to war versus Orlando with a depleted center rotation.

Starting center Deandre Ayton, who has been inconsistent offensively over the last month, will have to step up his production. This could be an opportunity for Maxi Kleber, who has been in and out of the rotation all season, to get meaningful playing time.
