The regular-season series between these teams was evenly split at 2-2. The Cavaliers started off strong in this playoff series, securing two home victories and covers. However, they faced a setback in Game 3, suffering a 121-83 defeat in Orlando, marking the worst playoff loss in franchise history. The Magic were on fire, shooting 51.1% from the field and 35.1% from beyond the arc, outplaying the Cavs who struggled to find their rhythm.
Despite the impressive win, the Magic have been inconsistent, with a 2-5 SU and ATS record in their past 7 games, and 6-9 SU and 5-10 ATS in their past 15.

Against the spread, the Cavaliers are at +2.5 (-115), while the Magic are at -2.5 (-105). The Over/Under is set at 201.5 points, with the Over at -110 and the Under at -110.
In terms of predictions, the Magic are favored to win with a score of 107-99. While the moneyline is a close call, it might be more beneficial to bet on the Magic to cover the spread at -2.5 (-105), considering their recent performance and the Cavaliers' struggles on the road. Additionally, the Over 201.5 (-110) seems like a solid bet, given the trend of high-scoring games in recent matchups.
