Cleveland was content to win its first two games at home and decided not to show up for Game 3 and Orlando routed the Cavaliers 121-83. The Magic missed 10 of their first 11 shots and still shot 51.1 percent for the game with a 51-32 edge in rebounds. The Magic likely won't score that many points in this game, but they have found a way to defend the Cavaliers, who shot just 39.0 percent overall and went 8-for-34 on 3-point tries. Paolo Banchero had 31 points and Orlando led by 43 points in the fourth quarter. Orlando had gone UNDER three straight and just missed staying UNDER on Thursday even while scoring 121 points. The Magic are 8-1 UNDER their past nine games as home favorites and 15-5 UNDER overall playing with one day of rest. Also, Orlando is 34-16-1 ATS at home and 41-19-1 ATS with one day of rest. Take the Magic as a Max Play and the UNDER.
