The current betting odds have the Magic listed as an 8 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Magic haven't won a game in their first 4 games of the season now but they have been playing very close in their games lately. The Cavaliers got off to a rough start to their season losing by 3 points in Toronto but they have turned it on since then looking really good in their last 2 games getting blowout wins. This game is going to be a lot harder for them though with the Magic still searching for their 1st win they will be very hungry in this game. They may not get their 1st win of the season but they will be trying hard for it and this is a lot of points for a hungry team like this. The Magic have a lot of good young players that just need time to mesh with each other and once they find their way they have the potential to be a dangerous team. There is too much young talent on this Magic team to be laying this kind of number against them when they don't have a win this season. The best way to place a bet here is on the Magic to cover the spread in this game.

“It’s a process. We’ve got 78 more, so we’ve just to got come with a higher level of focus, higher level of urgency. We play again Wednesday, so look to get that first win and move on with it, but it’s not going to be easy. No team is going to hand us a win, so got to go get it.” - Paolo Banchero after their loss against the Knicks on Monday.

 

 

“I'm more poised than that. That shouldn't happen. We should have been home an hour ago. That's where my head is at. We'll take the win, but I promise you for the next day and a half all I'm going to be thinking about is finding ways to execute late game and being the best for my team.” - Donovan Mitchell after his team’s win against the Wizards on Sunday.
