Kings @ Lakers: In no time at all the Kings have gained a better record than the Lakers. Kobe has to rise above Ron Artest and score 40+ if they want to seal a victory. Also Bryant has to show up on defense and not allow Artest to have a great game like he had last time. This is a huge rivalry again and with the Lakers staring down revenge in the face, they should win this game. Also remember this is their first game back from a long poor road trip. Predicted Score: The LA Lakers win 102-97

Knicks @ Magic: Orlando and New York are on the bottom tier of the NBA scale and should matchup well to one another. New York has lately provided a challenge to several teams but might have a challenge here at Orlando. It
