Play On: Magic +5.0

Yes, I realize the home teams in this series are 4-0 SU&ATS with an average victory margin of 21.7 points per game. But what I’ve seen from Cleveland thus far is extremely concerning. The Cavaliers have been held to 97 points or fewer in all 4 games. They lost the last 2 in this series by 38 and 23 points while scoring just 86.0 per contest. On the other hand, the younf Orlando Magic team gained a ton of confidence offensively in their Games 3 and 4 home wins by averaging 116.5 points scored per game and shooting a combined 53.3% from the field. Orlando is 11-4 SU this season immediately following 2 consecutive games in which they shot 50% or better and outscored those 15 opponents by an average of 5.2 points per contest. The teams will be playing on 2 days rest tonight. Orlando is 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 when playing on 2 days rest and with an average victory margin of 22.7 points per game. Conversely, Cleveland is 0-3 ATS and just 1-2 SU this season as a favorite of 3.0 or greater when playing with 2 days rest and they were outscored by 2.7 points per contest.
