Our prediction for the Cavaliers vs Magic game is for Jarrett Allen to score Under 15.5 points.
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers are coming into this game in excellent form, rested and with no lingering injury issues. They have been phenomenal on both sides of the floor recently, and their defence should be at full strength in this game.
With the Magic also having time to rest and recover, and their aspirations to make the playoffs this year, I expect their defence to be on point as well. They have been playing solid D all season, and I expect the combination of slow pace and tough defence to result in a lower number of points on both sides.
This brings me to our tip of the night, and I’m going with a player prop. The Magic play solid defence in the paint, allowing 48.7 points per night, and with the game slowing down, I expect Jarrett Allen to have a low-scoring night.
He has also hit the under in 3 of his last 5 games, and I just see this one as a good spot to back the under again. His scoring record against the Magic this season has been 8, 4 and 14 points.

They are currently 8th in the conference and tied with the Miami Heat with a 30-25 record.

Their defence has been solid this season, allowing 110.9 points per game, but their defensive rating has taken a hit recently, going up to 118.4 (20th).
