(501) Orlando Magic at (502) Cleveland Cavaliers
4% Cleveland Cavaliers -5.5 (-110)
Cleveland is looking to learn from last year's failure while Orlando is getting the taste of the playoffs for the first time in 5 years. The Cavaliers imposed their will on the Magic in game 1 holding them to 83 points. Donovan Mitchell looked in solid form scoring 30 points. That was important because Mitchell has been dealing with a knee injury. Cleveland held Orlando to 22% shooting from 3 PT land, but they only shot 27% themselves. At the end of the day it was the Cavs being able to contain the Magic to 33% from inside the arc, while Cleveland was at 44%. Cleveland knows the importance of keeping the momentum and holding serve on their home court. I look for Cleveland to go up 2-0 in the series with another win this evening, and another big night from Mitchell.
