Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic prediction
This line is rather interesting when you consider the Cleveland Cavaliers are one of the hottest teams in the league with seven straight wins. The Orlando Magic have been shaky these last couple of weeks, and they’re on the end of a back to back after playing the Heat last night. The Cavs have won 7 of the last 9 meetings against the Magic. I just don’t understand how this line is pretty much a toss up given the way the Cavs are playing right now. The Cleveland Cavaliers have also covered 6 of their last 7 games. Give me the road team to get the win and cover.
