This is a tough spot for the Magic, who are 0-4 and have lost two games by at least 10 points. One of their best scoring options is rookie Paolo Banchero, and he’ll have his hands full with Evan Mobley likely to guard him for most of the game. Darius Garland (eye) will miss his third straight game, but the Cavaliers have won both games without him by at least 10 points. Look for them to pull off another lopsided victory here.
Rookie Paolo Banchero has been as good as advertised, but the Magic remain winless at 0-4 as they visit 2-1 Cleveland tonight. Donovan Mitchell is averaging 33.3 points, seven assists, and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 42 percent on 3-pointers, and Cavs coaches and players are raving about what a great teammate and leader he is. Cleveland also has a legit homecourt edge. Mitchell said the atmosphere for Sunday's home opener "felt like a playoff game." Although Darius Garland is still out, the Cavs are fully rested and should come out with a strong performance for their rabid fans. The rebuilding Magic remain without guard Jalen Suggs and center Moritz Wagner. This is Orlando's fourth road game and the Magic have yet to cover one.
