Cavaliers vs Magic Injury Report

Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley are questionable for the Cavaliers.

The Magic will be without Moritz Wagner and Jalen Suggs. Cole Anthony is questionable with a toe injury.

Cavaliers vs Magic Prediction

The Magic continue to have issues scoring, and winning games, and they’ve failed to cover six of their last nine games. I have no use for the Magic and will continue to fade them. The Cavs keep winning games, and are closing in on the top seed in the NBA, and their 64.6 percent cover percentage is the second-best in the league. The Cavs keep winning and cashing tickets. It sometimes doesn’t get any easier than that. I’ll keep backing the Cavs as long as they keep putting money in our pockets. Of course, check the injury report to see the status of Mitchell and Mobley before betting.  This line could change drastically depending on the status.
