The Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers duke it out at the Rocket Arena on Monday night.


Orlando Magic Betting Preview 


The Orlando Magic have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their last six games overall and they will be looking to snap a three-game slide after getting trampled by the Cavaliers in a 119-105 loss on Saturday. Paolo Banchero led the team with 27 points on seven of 14 shooting, Desmond Bane added 20 points with four rebounds and three assists while Anthony Black chipped in with 16 points and five assists. As a team, the Magic shot 41 percent from the field and 11 of 40 from the 3-point line as they did their best to stay within striking distance despite their poor shooting, until late in the third quarter where the Cavaliers pulled away. Wendell Carter Jr had a rough game of just 11 points on three of nine shooting while Jalen Suggs scored just nine points in his return to the lineup. 


Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview 


Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been on a roll as they’ve won five of their last six games and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after routing the Magic in a 119-105 road win on Saturday. Donovan Mitchell led the team with 36 points and nine assists on 15 of 30 shooting, Jaylon Tyson added 17 points while Evan Mobley chipped in with 13 points. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 53 percent from the field and 15 of 34 from the 3-point line as they went on an 11-2 run in the second quarter to take a narrow lead into halftime, before they clicked into gear and exploded for 37 points in the fourth quarter to pull away and win comfortably on the road.


Orlando v Cleveland Free Prediction


The Magic have ruled out Franz Wagner once again, while the Cavaliers are still missing Darius Garland, Max Strus and Sam Merrill. It’s always tough to beat the same team twice in a row, but the Magic have been frustratingly inconsistent lately as they collected wins over good teams like the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets, but now they have lost their last three games by an average of 19 points. In contrast, the Cavaliers are starting to heat up again despite the injuries they’ve had to deal with and I think they represent decent value at the short line at home.

Peter Tran's Pick: Cleveland -4.5
