Live Thread: Cavs vs Magic

The Cavs have been playing pretty well lately. Sure, they lost their last outing against the Sixers, but they made a game of it before ultimately falling to a team loaded with talent. In this one, Cleveland will face off against the Orlando Magic, who feature much less talent than their past two opponents. Nonetheless, the Magic had a pretty decent February so they aren’t exactly an easy opponent. Their performance has dropped off a little in March, losing 4 of 6, while the Cavaliers are winners of 6 of the last 12 so the outlook is good.

The Magic are mostly healthy while the Cavaliers will be without Dellavedova, Thompson, and Nance. Vucevic is averaging just over 20 points per game and playing well since being traded from the Raptors. For Cleveland, Love has been looking awful spry and shooting lights out from deep while Sexton seems to be rounding off a pretty decent rookie campaign. I think the Cavs make it two in a row against Orlando and pull of a road win. My prediction for the game is a 113-105 win. As always, Go Cavs!
