Result:
LOSS

Welcome Isaiah Thomas to the Cleveland Cavaliers starting lineup! In Boston, Thomas faced double and triple-teams regularly. That won't be possible here with LeBron James, Kevin Love and JR Smith on the floor. Orlando is really going to struggle to defend in this one as their defense is horrible, allowing over 110 per game. The Magic are just 22-34 ATS the past two seasons vs. winning teams. And teams that can hit the long ball really give Orlando fits. When facing a team like Cleveland that hits 36%+ from beyond the arc, the Magic are just 4-16 ATS this season. As a dog this season, Orlando is just 10-19 ATS. They are also 5-13 ATS at home. Lay the points and take Cleveland.
