Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic NBA Regular Season Game on April 6, 2023
- Where: Amway Center, Orlando, Florida
- When: Thursday, April 6, 2023, 7:00 PM ET
Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Regular Season Record: 50-30
Despite securing their place in the playoffs and having slim chances of clinching the third spot in the East, the Cavaliers are not slowing down like many other teams and are still trying to improve their record as much as possible. With 50 wins under their belt, the Cavaliers come into this game with two consecutive victories, although both against weaker teams like the Orlando Magic and Indiana Pacers.
Although they have little to fight for, this game could serve the Cavaliers well in gaining confidence on the road heading into the postseason, as they have struggled in such conditions this season, boasting a record of 19-21 and averaging just 111.2 points per game, even with Mitchell, who averages 28.3 points per game (seventh best in the NBA).
Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 34-45
That defeat against the Cavaliers on Tuesday ended the Magic’s two-game winning streak. But let’s not forget how well they have performed in recent weeks, winning five of their last seven games and showing a solid defensive performance. Still, these results don’t mean much as they currently sit in 13th place in the Eastern Conference with no hopes of making the play-in tournament.
The only goal that the Florida team may have in mind is to finish the year with a positive home record, where they have won 20 games and lost 20 games. This is where they have displayed their best form, averaging 114.8 points scored and 113.3 points allowed per game.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite their victory, the Cavaliers had to work harder than expected to overcome the Magic on Tuesday, and things could be even tougher for them in this Cavaliers vs Magic showdown as they are unlikely to use all their potential with only a few games left before the playoffs.
This will give Orlando a good opportunity to take more initiative as they are led by Paolo Banchero, who has had a sensational rookie season and has scored at least 20 points in all three games against the Cavaliers this year.
The home team has won seven of the last ten games between these teams, so, for this Cavaliers vs Magic game, we expect the Magic to fight until the end in this matchup and at least cover the Spread.
Prediction: Orlando Magic spread (CLE 112-114 ORL)
