Orlando Magic vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been one of the best teams over the last month or so, and they should be favored at home. However, this line is disrespectful toward the Magic, a team that’s covered 8 of their last 10 games and is 36-19-0 ATS on the season. There’s no better covering team in the NBA right now than the Magic. The Magic’s 65.4 percent cover percentage is easily the best in the league. Give me the points with the cash cows.
