Magic vs Cavaliers Best Picks and Prediction
The two teams competing in this game have distinct goals for the current campaign.
The Orlando Magic have put together a roster that includes a number of young players in an effort to find a strong foundation to build on moving forward. It's clear that they don't have any realistic expectations of competing at the moment.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers also have a young core and added to it before the start of the season. They made the bold move to acquire Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz, giving them a top-tier scoring option when it mattered most.
Mitchell has been surrounded by a strong group of players who will only get better after Darius Garland recovers fully from his eye injury. The Cavs should get the win in this game.
Pick: Cavaliers -8 (-110)
