Even with Dwight Howard sitting out, there's good news for the Magic. The Orlando Magic have a chance tonight to secure a postseason berth. After the Milwaukee Bucks lost Saturday night, a Magic victory over the Cavaliers would clinch a playoffs spot. The Magic is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 vs. the NBA Central and are getting more minutes for physical Glen "Big Baby" Davis is a good thing. He was not happy in Boston with his role off the bench and now gets a shot at starter minutes. The Cavaliers will play their third game in three nights and their fifth game in six nights, so that should help the better-rested Magic. The Cavaliers are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 home games against a team with a winning road record and 4-12 ATS in their last 16 home games. Play the Orlando Magic. In addition, there will be more defense than offense. Cleveland’s rookie point Kyrie Irving, who has an injured right shoulder, isn't going to play - a huge loss to their offense. Orlando is on a 3-2 run UNDER the total, and despite their problems this season the team has been sharp defensively, No. 4 in the NBA in points allowed. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers are 20-8 UNDER the total in their last 28 games as a home underdog. Play on Orlando and take the UNDER.
