Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Magic have had consistency issues this season, and they’re 17-26 ATS on the season. The Magic will also be without Wagner again which isn’t ideal. However, the Cavs are a team we’ve faded all season and that doesn’t change with them on the end of a back to back. The Cavs are 16-30 ATS on the season. It doesn’t get any worse than that, folks. I will continue to blindly fade the Cavs, a team that’s winning but not putting cash in your pocket. Give me the Magic and the small chalk.
