Cleveland is 22nd in scoring and 25th from 3-point land, but they have a winning record playing great defense, ranked seventh in points given up (110.6 ppg), and eighth in field goal shooting allowed (45.4%). The offense will be without third-leading scorer Evan Mobley (16 ppg) and fourth-leading scorer Caris LeVert (14.9 ppg), both with knee injuries. The Cavaliers are 55-38 UNDER the total after playing a road game and 22-10 UNDER against teams that outrebound their opponents by 3+ boards per game. Orlando is the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and sixth defensively in the NBA in points surrendered. Fifth-leading scorer Jalen Suggs (12.2 ppg) is questionable with an ankle sprain. Look for a fierce defensive battle between two of the best six teams in the East. Take Cleveland/Orlando UNDER the total.
