The Orlando Magic are taking a road trip to face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers at 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Coming off a loss in a game the Magic were expected to win, they now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.
The Magic are headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week’s over/under low at 227.5, but even that wound up being too high. They fell just short of the Bulls by a score of 102-99 on Wednesday. The loss hurts even more since Orlando was up 48-28 with 8:50 left in the second.
Meanwhile, the Cavaliers had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 16.8 points) and they went ahead and made it five on Wednesday. They put the hurt on Los Angeles with a sharp 134-110 victory. Cleveland has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won three contests by 19 points or more this season.
The Cavaliers’ success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jarrett Allen led the charge by dropping a double-double on 20 points and 17 rebounds.
The Cavaliers were working as a unit and finished the game with 37 assists. That’s the most assists they’ve posted since back in April.
Orlando’s loss dropped their record down to 3-2. As for Cleveland, their win bumped their record up to 5-0.
Keep an eye on the arc in Friday’s game: The Magic have made nailing deep shots look easy this year this season, having averaged 14.8 threes per game. However, it’s not like the Cavaliers struggle in that department as they’ve been averaging 14.8. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
While only the Cavaliers took care of their fans the last time they played, neither team managed to cover. As for their next game, the Cavaliers are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by eight points. They might be worth a quick bet since they’ve covered the spread the last five times they’ve played.
