Cleveland held the Magic to 33 percent shooting and won 97-83 on Saturday and Orlando now has lost five of its past seven games. Donovan Mitchell had 30 points and both teams were cold from 3-point range. The Cavaliers went 8-for-30 and Orlando 8-for-37 from beyond the arc and that was the main reason for the low score. We can expect both teams to shoot better in Game 2 and Cleveland is 7-0 OVER its past seven games playing with one day of rest. The Magic are 0-5 ATS their past five road contests and the Cavaliers have covered seven of eight Monday games. Orlando had gone OVER five of seven before Saturday's game and it hasn't covered the number on the road since April 3rd against New Orleans. Take the Cavaliers as a Max Play and the OVER.
