Default Lakers -1 at Orlando

According to wagerline, 79.1% of the public is on the Lakers -1. Usually, I'd stay away from the public's picks and even tend to bet against them, but imo public seems to be on the right side. What confuses me really is that despite the heavy money coming in on the Lakers, the line is really not moving much. Some books moved the line to Lakers -1.5, but I would have expected a much bigger change.

On the surface: Lakers are on a hot streak, winning 8 of last 10. Orlando has lost 3 straight, going 2-8 last 10 games.

Beside the fact that Orlando is playing at home, what are some of the specifics that justify Lakers -1. Does the fact that Kobe scored 62 points in 3 quarters last game have any (negative?) effect at all?
