As part McDonald’s Black and Positivity Golden “Beyond the Court” panel in Chicago this past weekend, Magic explained that the Clippers have an advantage over the Lakers when it comes to their depth. Specifically, Magic noted the Lakers’ need to find a consistent third scorer behind LeBron and .

“If you look at man-for-man, (the Clippers are) probably better than (the Lakers) in terms the bench,” Johnson said, according to USA Today’s Mark Medina.

“But to Anthony Davis and LeBron James, to me they are going to be the key and they are going to have to dominate in that series. Then we’re going to need that third scorer.”

The Lakers entered the All Star break at the top the Western Conference with a record 41-12, four games up on the second seed Denver Nuggets and five games ahead the Clippers. The Lakers are 0-2 against Kawhi and the Clippers thus far, but Magic believes his former team is “playing the best out anybody” and is confident that LeBron and AD will flip the switch come playf time.
