The Los Angeles Lakers enter Saturday's road matchup against the Orlando Magic in search of their ninth consecutive victory.

During their current eight-game win streak, the Lakers have defeated six playoff teams, including the Houston Rockets twice.

After sitting in the middle of the Western Conference standings for the majority of the season, the Lakers are peaking at the right time, now third in the West.

That said, there's a chance they'll be without one of their main contributors Saturday, as Austin Reaves has been added to the injury report.

Reaves is listed as questionable due to left heel soreness, according to NBA insider Benjamin Royer.

Maxi Kleber remains sidelined due to a lumbar strain in his back.

As for the Magic, they're currently dealing with a plethora of injuries.

For starters, Franz Wagner remains out due to an ankle injury. Wagner has now missed over a month, sidelined since early February.

Jonathan Isaac is also listed as out due to a knee injury.

15.3 point per game scorer, Anthony Black will miss Saturday's game due to injury as well.

Lastly, Wendell Carter Jr. is listed as questionable due to a rib injury.

Slipping in a tightly contested Eastern Conference pack, the Magic will be eager to earn a win and stop their current three-game skid.

Following Saturday's game, Orlando will host the Indiana Pacers Monday.

In regards to Los Angeles, they'll have two more road games against the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers before returning home to host the Brooklyn Nets.
