Second of a B2B for Orlando, but it didn't have to travel after beating Miami 105-87 in Franz Wagner's return from injury. He's good to go in the back end tonight, while red-hot Cleveland is without Sixth Man of the Year candidate Caris LeVert on top of Darius Garland and Evan Mobley still.
DMitch is in a tough spot. Sure the Cavs are thin but the total is down and the Magic D is very very good v opp alpha guards. Take the under.
More "unders" lately for both of these sides which is probably why the "total" has been pushed a bit downward into the mid 2-teens. For the Cavs, it's been improved defense at the center of the current seven-game win streak, with the last three foes all scoring beneath 100 points, and four straight "unders" into tonight. Meanwhile, Jamahl Mosley's Magic has also fared a bit better when controlling the pace this season, and is currently working a 7-1 "under" run. In the last two Orlando wins, the Magic has allowed under 100 points vs. both the Knicks and Heat (the latter on Sunday afternoon, holding Miami to just 37% FG shooting and 32% beyond the arc). Play Cavs-Magic "Under"
This is a big number for Mitchell who is averaging a combined 39.2 PRA this season. Even with Cleveland shorthanded and missing Darius Garland and Evan Mobley from the lineup for the Cavs, Michell's averages and usage has remained nearly identical. This is a tough matchup against a Magic team that are 4th in Defense and surrenders minimal productions to opposing backcourts. This game has by far the lowest projected total on tonight's slate as well.
