Premium Pick

Orlando is playing the second of a back-to-back after winning at San Antonio last night, snapping a four-game losing streak by the Magic, which has started the season almost as badly as the Cavaliers. Orlando is averaging only 101.8 points per game while shooting only 42.4 percent overall and just 30.9 percent from 3-point range. The Magic did get 26 points from Aaron Gordon, and the team shot 50.5 percent in the win over the Spurs, but doing it two nights in a row is another question. The Magic is 0-4 ATS its last four home games and 1-10-1 its last 12 games after scoring at least 100 points its previous game going back to last season. Also, Orlando is 18-41 ATS its last 59 games following a win. It is notable that it's just a small favorite over struggling Cleveland in this matchup. Take the points with the Cavaliers.
