Just how dominant have the Cleveland Cavaliers been when facing off against the Orlando Magic? The Cavs have won 13 straight games versus the Magic and can make it 14 when the clubs collide in the Sunshine State Friday evening. That’s also translated to the betting window, as the wine and gold are 13-0 ATS during that span as well.
- The Cavaliers are 13-4 SU in their last 17 games as road favorites.
- The Magic are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as an underdog of 7.5 or more.
- The total has gone OVER in five of the Magic' last six games with one day off between games.
The Cavs (48-19 SU) recently topped the Mavericks on Wednesday to win seven of its last nine. Head coach Tyronn Lue has opted to rest his star player, LeBron James, this week with the playoffs on the horizon. Cleveland currently holds a two-game lead over Toronto for first place in the Eastern Conference.
Despite the win, the Cavs are just 4-12 SU without James in the lineup in the last two seasons.
Orlando’s window for making the postseason is extremely slim at this point. Victor Oladipo and company have dropped five of seven to fall further back in the race for the eighth and final playoff spot.
