Cavaliers vs Magic
This Eastern Conference Cavaliers vs Magic matchup is between a struggling playoff team and a team already evaluating for next season. The Cavaliers have been in a recent slump, and that comes with consequences in the standings. They have now dropped into the play-in portion of the playoff standings on the heels of losing three straight and six of nine.
The Magic are now in the cellar of the Eastern Conference. They have overtaken the Pistons for last place in the East. They are in a three way tie by record for the top chance at the number one draft selection. The Magic are tied with the Rockets and Pistons for that (dis)honor.
The Magic continue to have their offensive struggles, and that is likely to hold true in this matchup. The Cavaliers are a slower paced team that play high end defense overall.

Why Bet The Under
✅ There are very few teams in the league matching the overall struggles of the Magic to put points on the scoreboard. They average just over 104 points per game, and that holds true both at home and on the road. The Magic are the second lowest scoring team in the league and are the second least efficient offensive team in the league. They also continue to be without rookie and future star Jalen Suggs, who is recovering from an ankle injury.
✅ The Cavaliers have found success this season with a slow pace and preferring lower scoring games. They rely more on their defense than their offense, and the figures completely back that up. The Cavs are the third in the league in points allowed per game at home, at just 102.8 per game. That overall figure is the result of a combination of very slow pace and efficient defense. The team is fourth in the league in defensive efficiency at home and operate at the fifth slowest pace in the Association.
✅ The Cavaliers will have no problem dictating pace in this game, as the Magic are just middle of the pack in that category. Where the lack of points will come is in the Cavaliers efficient defense against the Magic’s wholly inefficient offense. On the other end, the Magic play middle of the pack defense and at just a moderate pace. The Cavaliers scoring will not see a spike over their yearly average. Even if they score at a higher clip than their average of 107.3, we have to assume a Cavs win and the game staying under the total.
