Orlando's offense is 18th in points scored and shooting, plus 21st from the free throw line. But the defense is sixth in points given up and ninth in field goal shooting allowed. Orlando held Chicago to 102 points and 42.9% shooting in the last game but lost, scoring just 99 points while shooting 40.7%. The injury to Banchero definitely won't do the Magic offense any favors. Cleveland's defense is fifth in points given up, sixth in field goal shooting allowed, and 10th at defending beyond the arc. These teams went 4-3 UNDER the total during their seven-game playoff series in April and May, with the scores of the four games in Cleveland 96-86, 97-83, 104-103, and 106-94. Take Orlando/Cleveland UNDER the total.
