Orlando Magic at Cleveland Cavaliers Overview:<br />
</h2>
<p>
The champs continue to showcase their might and supremacy after they won last night in the Great White North, dispatching conference foe Toronto by a score of 94-91. Cleveland boasts a robust home court advantage at the Quicken Loans Arena which was instrumental in helping them capture their first NBA title, last season.
</p>
<p>
Orlando looks like the Magic many are used to spectating. The Magic have lost their first two games to kick off the season and have done so in demoralizing fashion. Orlando has given up 108 points in each of their two losses and have been beaten by both Miami and Detroit (Two 2015-16 Playoff Teams) by an average margin of 19 points.

Public Money<br />

<p>
As expected almost all are in on Cleveland, as we have seen 98% of the public jump on the Cavaliers against the spread, mirroring what we saw yesterday against the Raptors. On the Money Line, the Cavaliers require an incredible amount of juice as a -1100 favorite, opposed to Orlando who enters as a +750 road dog. As for the Total Line, we have seen 58% of the consensus like the Over in a Total Line market currently at 204. In this market there has likely been some heavy action on the Under at the onset be that this market fell three points from an open of 207.

Orlando Magic at Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Magic have a very potent offense despite sporting the abysmal 0-2 mark. The Magic have a reputation as being one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference, combining this with the fact they are going to Cleveland where the Cavs seem virtually un-beatable and this does not help their cause by any stretch. Nevertheless, there is enough wiggle room in this market for Orlando to keep this game closer than forecasted while furthering the home court advantage narrative that Cavs enthusiasts bank on. Nevertheless, a back-to-back is tough for any NBA team to navigate no matter who they are playing and the stock on Cleveland is through the ceiling, perfect time for a fade.
Free Pick:
Orlando +12 and Over 204 (KF)
