With no Paolo Banchero and potentially no Franz Wagner tonight, the Magic will have their hands full trying to keep up with Darius Garland and the Cavaliers, as our NBA betting picks explain.
The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Orlando Magic in seven games in the opening round of the 2024 playoffs, and Orlando will look to avenge that series loss with a win at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse tonight. But with Paolo Banchero sidelined and Franz Wagner ill, Orlando will face an uphill battle in this one.
Banchero comfortably leads the Magic in scoring and assists and ranks second in rebounding. To say his absence will be felt is a massive understatement. The Cavs’ stifling defense would have given a fully healthy Magic team fits, but without Banchero, this one could get ugly quickly. I’m backing Cleveland to take care of business at home and cover the spread at -8.
Garland has handed out six or more assists in three of five games and hit the Over on this line once. The Cavs’ offense is as well-rounded as they come, with six players averaging 10 or more points and four averaging 17 or better.
