Cavaliers vs. Magic Best Bet: Magic +7.5
The Magic enter this battle as the underdog at home, mainly due to their inconsistency on the season. On the flip side, Cleveland has consistently proven to be one of the best teams in the league this year as they look to make a run when the postseason comes around. However, this same Magic team managed to take the Cavs to seven games last year in the playoffs, and it wouldn’t be a shock to see this game come down to the wire. In their first matchup, Orlando lost in Cleveland by 11 points. Despite the loss, the Magic didn’t look outmatched by any means. Jamahl Mosley’s squad could easily make a game out of this, and even if they don’t pull off the upset, it wouldn’t be a shock to see less than eight points settle this game.

Cavaliers vs. Magic Best Total Bet: Over 222.5
These two teams couldn’t be further apart regarding points per game entering this matchup. Cleveland sits atop the league, averaging 122.9 points per game, while the Magic rank dead last with 104.3 points per game. Even then, if the trend stayed the same, the two teams should easily be able to surpass the 222.5-point set total. Whether it’s a close game that comes down to the final buzzer or the Cavs do the heavy lifting with scoring, this game seems likely to exceed 223 points.

Cavaliers Best Player Bet: Evan Mobley to Record a Double-Double +105
Evan Mobley heads into this battle, nearly averaging a double-double on the season with 18.7 points and 9.3 rebounds. The versatile forward has notched a double-double in four of his past six games as he continues to dominate in head coach Kenny Atkinson‘s system. Considering the former top-three pick finished with a double-double in their first matchup, I’ll take the odds he can do it again.
Magic Best Player Bet: Pa0lo Banchero 25+ Points Scored +136
Paolo Banchero enters this showdown averaging 22.9 points per game on the season, but he’s shown the ability to explode on offense at any given time. The Duke product can exploit any mismatch, and Banchero could be in for a big night against a Cavaliers team struggling to defend the league’s top wings. Not to mention, the Magic star averaged 27 points per game against the Cavaliers in last year’s playoff series.
