What to Know
The Magic and the Cavaliers are an even 5-5 against one another since December of 2023, but not for long. On Sunday, the Orlando Magic will fight it out against the Cleveland Cavaliers in an Eastern Conference playoff contest at 1:00 p.m. ET at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Magic are no doubt hoping to put an end to a seven-game streak of away losses.
The Magic are headed into this one after the oddsmakers set last week’s over/under low at 201, but even that wound up being too high. They walked away with a 103-96 win over the Cavaliers on Friday.
Donovan Mitchell put forth a good effort for the losing side as he scored 50 points. He is trending in the right direction, as he’s improved his point production for three straight games.
It won’t be long before one of the teams is headed to the Eastern Semifinals and the other is headed back home in defeat. Check back here to see who starts off on the right foot and who will be fighting an uphill battle in this series.
