Magic vs. Cavaliers NBA Prediction:
Orlando has been one of the best teams against the number all season. They are 15-5 ATS overall and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. The Magic are also 3-1 ATS when playing on 2 or 3 days of rest this season. Their last game was on Saturday against the Nets. Cleveland’s last game was also on Saturday, and that bodes well for Orlando. The Magic are an NBA-best 7-1 ATS when playing an opponent on equal rest this season. Cleveland is only 1-3 ATS when playing on 2 or 3 days of rest this year, which bolsters Orlando’s chances even more. I’m a believer in the Magic’s #6 ranked scoring defense, which is why I’m backing Orlando on the road in Cleveland on Wednesday night.
