Orlando at Cleveland

Two playoff teams collide in Cleveland this afternoon with seeding implications and we expect an intense, defense-laden game. Orlando has gone UNDER in seven of their last eight games. Cleveland has gone OVER twice in a row after going UNDER in seven of eight. We like the odds of Cleveland avoiding a third-straight weak defensive effort after giving up 215 in the past two. Over their past five games, the Magic have held opponents to 45 ppg in the first half adn Cleveland has been all about defense vs. elite teams, especially at home. We see this one coming in UNDER 97 in the first half, when the sting of the past two games is strongest for Cleveland and intensity is the highest.
