Not only is Orlando battling for a playoff spot, but the Magic was embarrassed by a loss to the lowly Cavaliers on March 3 and won't let it happen again. Cleveland has lost three of four since that game, including 106-99 at Philadelphia on Tuesday while shooting only 39.6 percent and allowing nearly 50 percent shooting by the 76ers. The Magic look to get well after losing two road contests to Memphis and Washington and cannot afford any more losses as they already are on the edge of missing the playoffs. The Cavaliers are dealing with several injuries, including center Tristan Thompson (foot) and forward Larry Nance Jr. (ribs), who are both out for this matchup. Lay the points with the Magic.
