Live Thread: Cavs vs Magic

Cleveland hosts the unfeated Orlando Magic tonight, who are hungry for a win I’m sure. The Cavs will be without Darius Garland once again, but he did fortunately practice with the team today.

Windler and Rubio also remain out. For Orlando, Fultz, Mo Wagner, Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, and Jonathan Isaac are also out. They Cavs will have to contend with Orlando’s size and the stellar play so far of Paulo Banchero, Cole Anthony, and Bol Bol(?). Keeping Orlando’s lengthy dudes off the boards especially Wendall Carter Jr. Look for Cleveland to run early and often to negate the Magic size advantage. This team turns the ball over a lot and doesn’t defend will. Trust Austin Carr to say “you gotta hit em in the mouth early.” See you at 7!
