The Cavaliers are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 Tuesday games. The Magic are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The over is 7-3 in Cavaliers last 10 overall. The under is 4-1 in Magic last 5 overall. The Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Orlando and 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
The Orlando Magic are playing great ball down the stretch, and they clearly look to finish the season on a strong note. However, I’d need more points to consider the Cavs. The Cleveland Cavaliers are the better team, and they win as favorites by an average of 8.3 points. Line is reasonable. Give me the Cavs on the road.
