The Orlando Magic have won 4 games in a row as they prepare to host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. Cleveland is hot, as well, with 3 victories in its last 4 contests. With both teams playing great basketball and fighting for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference, I’m expecting a playoff-like atmosphere that is high on intensity. That would also mean a commitment on the defensive end of the floor. As such, my Cavaliers vs Magic prediction is Under 226.5. A low-scoring affair would be nothing new for these 2 conference rivals. They have faced each other on 2 previous occasions this season and Cleveland has won by scores of 119-105 and 114-98. That’s 224 points and 212 points for those counting.

Orlando has continued to put the clamps down on defense. In fact, it has held its last 2 opponents to 92 and 91 points. The Magic have played 10 straight games without allowing more than 114 points. Both teams are missing some offense, too. The Cavaliers are without Jarrett Allen (15.3 ppg) due to a knee injury, while Anthony Black (also 15.3 ppg) is on the shelf for the Magic because of an abdominal strain. All things considered, let’s roll with the under.

Cavaliers vs Magic prediction: Under 226.5 (-108) available at time of publishing. Playable to 225.
