- Magic -2 (-110) at Bet365 (check our Bet365 Review)
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Orlando Magic
Saturday, April 27, 2024 – 01:00 PM ET at Kia Center
The AI Model likes the Magic to even the series against the Cavaliers with a 104-101 victory. That would be a three-point win, which would be good enough if you’ve got a -2 Magic ticket.
What Happened, Cleveland?
The Cavaliers destroyed the Magic in the first two games of the series, but the tide turned the moment they left Cleveland.
The Cavaliers played tremendous defense in the first two games of the series, allowing no better than a 42.4% effective field goal percentage. However, in Game 3, the Cavaliers watched the Magic score 143.3 points per 100 possessions with a 60.7% effective field goal percentage.
With another road game coming up, things aren’t looking promising for Cleveland.
Keys For Orlando
Despite the offensive struggles in Games 1 and 2, the Magic were still efficient defensively in those earlier losses.
The Magic allowed 103.2 points per 100 possessions or better in the first two games of the series. However, the difference in Game 3 was the offense coming alive.
The Pick
The AI Model and I agree that the Magic will even the series at two in this Eastern Conference matchup.
