Betting on the Orlando Magic
The Magic is still in free fall, and it doesn’t look like that’s going to change anytime soon. They come into this game registering a sixth loss in a row after losing 125-108 to the Atlanta Hawks at home last Wednesday, in a game in which they could not face an inspired Trae Young (30 points, 14 assists), and had Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero as the most outstanding players with 22 and 20 points, respectively.
That was also the Magic’s eighth home loss of the season, and their outlook doesn’t get any better now that they’ll hit the road, where they’ve won just one of their 10 games, including a 92-103 loss last time they faced the Cavaliers.
Florida enters this game as the second-worst team in the league offensively with an average of 108.3 points scored per game, while on defense they have allowed an average of 114.4 points per game.
Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers have made it clear that they are in contention for big things this campaign with the addition of Donovan Mitchell who has adapted in a big way, leading the team in points and steals per game with 28.4 and 1.4, respectively, and who has also given what was missing to a defense that is currently the best in the league with an average of 106.0 points allowed per game.
And it was precisely that defense that contributed to the Cavaliers’ 85-113 win over the 76ers in their last outing. The Cavs counted on a solid performance by Darius Garland, who scored 21 points, and also had the outstanding participation of Caris LeVert, who scored 22 points coming off the bench.
The Caveliers have turned the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse into an authentic fortress this campaign, as they have lost just one of the ten games they have played there so far.
JefeBet Prediction
The Magic have a lot of problems to deal with, as not only are they on a deplorable run of results, but they will also be facing the team that has performed the best on defense so far this campaign.
In addition, the Cavaliers have also been a solid offensive team, averaging 112.9 points per game on the strength of talented players like Mitchell, Garland and LeVert, so they should have little trouble having another productive night against a lax opposing defense.
What’s more, we have to take into account the Magic’s terrible away performance, and the Cavaliers’ strength at home. Therefore, on this occasion, we are confident that Cleveland will come away with a win by a wide margin of points.
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers Spread.
