Randy’s Pick

The Cavaliers are getting the love from oddsmakers here because they’re at home, but they didn’t look great in their preseason opener, and they’ve lost 7 of their last 10 preseason games overall. The Magic had their way with the Pelicans on the road, and they’re a young team with a roster full of guys fighting for roles. Young teams like the Magic usually do well in preseason play, and they’ve actually won 5 straight preseason games overall. The Cavs are set in their ways roster wise for the most part, and teams like that typically go through the motions in these meaningless games. Give me the road dog.
