Cleveland's scores have been bouncing around wildly. In ten December games their games have totaled under 187 six time and over 200 three times. The Magic have been low scoring consistenly although they are off a 225 point game vs. Golden State. This total is set so low thanks to Orlando's reputation and the seven very low scoring affairs by Cleveland. But why so low? The total in the three prior matchups between these two teams were 182, 187 and 187.5. This is an over adjustment. Cleveland can score at home and they can score against Orlando. These are not defensive powerhouses in the mold of San Antonio or Detroit so this line is just too low.
