After taking down the Magic by a score of 117-113, the Cavaliers are riding a two-game win streak. Donovan Mitchell led the way in scoring with 43 points. Heading into their previous matchup against the Magic, the Cavaliers were favored by 5.0, giving them an ATS loss.

With the win, the team has moved to 50-30, placing them 4th in the Eastern Conference. So far this season, they have gone 31-9 at home and 19-21 on the road. For the season, the Cavaliers are 43-36 vs. the spread but have failed to cover in three straight games.

The Cavaliers come into today's game ranked just 24th in scoring at 112.4 points per contest. Across their last five games, the unit is averaging 114 points per game. So far this season, the Cavaliers are ranked 30th in pace at 95.7 possessions per game. In terms of three-point shooting, Cleveland has found success when stepping beyond the arc, ranking 11th in three-point shooting percentage. The team's overall field goal percentage of 48.9% is 5th in the NBA.

This season, the Cleveland defense ranks 1st in the league, giving up an average of 105.7 points per game. Opposing teams have a field goal percentage of 45.3% and have knocked down 35.3% of their three-point attempts. The Cavaliers also rank 3rd in the NBA for defensive rebounds. However, when it comes to forcing turnovers, Cleveland is only 26th, with 12.4 turnovers forced per game.

 

Orlando Magic - NBA Betting Analysis

In Orlando's most recent game, Markelle Fultz led the team in scoring with 23 points, but the Magic fell to the Cavaliers by a score of 117-113 to the Cavaliers. Despite the straight-up loss, Orlando covered the spread as they were 5.0-point underdogs going into the game.

Now, the Magic's overall record sits at 34-45, placing them 11th in the Eastern Conference. The team's current record at home is 20-20 and 14-25 on the road. The Magic have a 10-game win streak against the spread and have an overall ATS mark of 46-32.

Despite being ranked 26th in the NBA with an average of 112.0 points per game, the Magic have improved their performance lately. In their last five games, they have scored an average of 116 points per contest. Some key reasons behind the Magic's offensive struggles is their poor shooting numbers from outside. Currently, they rank 27th in attempts and 24th in percentage at 34.9%. The team's slow pace of play is also impacting their scoring numbers, as they are 99.2 in possessions per game. On average, Orlando gets to the line 25.2 times per game (8th) and has hit 78.4% of these attempts.

This season, Orlando's defense is 1st in the league, allowing an average of 105.7 points per contest. So far, opposing teams have hit 45.3% of their field goal attempts and 35.3% from beyond the arc. The Magic have also been a strong defensive rebounding unit, sitting 3rd in the NBA. However, in terms of turnovers forced, Orlando is just 24th at 14.2 per game.
