Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers are set for Game 2 of the seven-game NBA playoffs. This comes after a low-scoring encounter on Saturday, where the Cavs collected a 97-83 win to go 1-0 up. Before this tough-minded game, Donovan Mitchell insisted the Cavs were well prepared, and they looked it. He scored 30 points, while Jarret Allen managed 18 rebounds. The Cavs have looked healthier, deeper, and more confident after an injury-plunged regular season. Orlando, on the other hand, must improve in the second round after shooting only 33% from the field. This can be attributed to the Cavs’ mean defense or Orlando’s poor shooting. They missed several free throws (19/30) and didn’t make threes (8/37). The second matchup of this best-of-seven round will be on Monday, April 22, at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

Orlando Magic - Cleveland Cavaliers Key Points

  1. The Cavaliers have the home-court advantage throughout the playoff series
  2. The Cavs have a 69.8% (37-53) win record as the favorites this season
  3. The Cavs have a 4-6 ATS record in the last 10 games
  4. Orlando has a 33.6% (17-44) loss record when playing as the underdogs this season

Our Orlando Magic vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Cavs are the 6-point favorites in a game that bookmakers expect to have over/under 202 points. The Cavaliers were the 4.5-point favorites during their last matchup, which they easily covered. We expect this to continue in Game 2 of the playoffs if everyone is fit and healthy. Donovan Mitchell is an excellent shot-maker, and his explosive style should cause trouble for the Magic throughout this series. He doesn’t look like someone ready to run down his contract and leave. Our prediction for Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic: The Cavs to cover +6.5 spread.
