Kyrie has huge game, but not enough
Kyrie Irving was in rare form in his return for the Celtics, putting up 40 points, seven rebounds and five assists, but it wasn't enough to lead his team to victory. Boston was stunned at home by the Orlando Magic, but Irving was still in the giving mood after the game.

Lonzo out, Ingram in for Lakers
Lonzo Ball is reportedly feeling better, but was still not well enough to play for the Lakers. He missed his fourth straight game for the Lakers, who were also without Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Brandon Ingram, who is nursing a sore ankle, played 24 minutes.
LAL get good news with Brandon Ingram (ankle) being available to play today vs NYK (game about to start on @SpectrumSN), though KCP and Ball remain out.
