The Magic are coming into this game with a 4-15 record overall and they are 3-8 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 7 of their last 8 games and are coming into this one on a 4 game losing streak after another loss in their last game. Their last win was against the New York Knicks while their 7 losses in that span came against the Brooklyn Nets, the Washington Wizards, the Atlanta Hawks, the Nets again, the Milwaukee Bucks twice, and the Charlotte Hornets in their last game. They still have a game on Friday night against the Chicago Bulls that needs to be played first so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Saturday night. In their game against the Hornets, Mo Bamba led the team in points in that game with 18 while Jalen Suggs was next on the team with 17 points. Suggs and R.J. Hampton off the bench both led the team in assists in that game with 6 each while Bamba led the team in rebounds with 12. They were 40.9% from the field, 35.7% from 3-point range, and 80% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 100.8 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 110.6 PPG against them. The Magic have an ATS record of 8-11 this season and their O/U record is 10-9.

 

 

The Cavs are coming into this game with a 9-10 record overall and they are 4-6 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. Their last win was against the Boston Celtics and they have gone on a 5 game losing streak since then with losses coming against the Celtics, the Brooklyn Nets, the Golden State Warriors, the Nets again, and the Phoenix Suns in their last game. Jarrett Allen led the team in points in that game with 25 while Cedi Osman was next on the team off the bench with 23 total points. Darius Garland led the team in assists in that game with 7 while Lauri Markkanen and Allen both led the team in rebounds with 11 each. They were 44.3% from the field, 30.8% from 3-point range, and 68% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 102.9 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 103.5 PPG against them. The Cavs have an ATS record of 12-5-2 this season and their O/U record is 7-12.

 

 

The Cavaliers are coming into this game as a 7.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to the bookmakers. The Cavs have been getting healthier recently with some key players returning to their lineup. They do not have all of their players back from injury but this should give their lineup an added boost and they should play a lot better than they have been recently. The Magic are one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference this season and they have been getting smashed by teams in their recent games, losing a lot of them by double digits. The best bet to place in this game is on the Cavs to cover the spread here.
