The Magic are coming into this game with a 47-35 record this season but they have been a much different team on the road this season. They had a losing record on the road this year at 18-23 and they have not played well in their recent games either. They beat the Bucks at home without Giannis in their last game of the regular season but they have still lost 3 of their last 4 as well as 5 of their last 7 games. They have been worse on the road recently as they have lost their last 4 straight with all 4 of those losses coming by 8+ points and even losing to some weaker teams in the Hornets and the Rockets in that span. They are going up against a Cavaliers team that is 48-34 this season and they have been playing much better in their recent games. They lost their last game of the season to the Hornets, but that was also a game they did not need to win and Donovan Mitchell also sat out in that game for some rest. They won their 2 straight games prior to that and they have been playing much better as a team since Mitchell came back from his injury. Excluding that last game of the season when they were resting players, the Cavaliers have been much better at home recently as they have won their last 4 straight games there, and they have also been much better at home all season as they are 26-15 there. These two also split their season series 2-2, each winning a game at home and a game on the road, but the game the Magic won in Cleveland was also a game that Donovan Mitchell did not play in. The Magic are only 1-2 against the Cavaliers when Mitchell plays and he is going to be the key piece for them to take a series lead in this game. The Cavaliers will cover the spread in this game.
