Magic vs Cavaliers Prediction

The Cavaliers should be favored, as they’re the better team and have health on their side for the most part. The Magic are more banged up than usual and have been underachievers in terms of SU and ATS success. However, the Magic are a decent team at home, where they’ve won 19 times and while I’ve bashed them all year, it feels like they’re starting to get too much disrespect in the market. With a recent winning streak under its belt, I’ll take a shot with the Magic and the points at home.
