*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Friday, April 26th Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Saturday, April 27th.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The team who led every minute of the two games in Cleveland sure wasn’t the squad that took the court in Orlando. Rather, they looked and played like the club that was ousted in the first round last season.
In particular, the Cavs backcourt had a rough night with Darius Garland (2 of 10) and Donovan Mitchell (6 of 16) combining to shoot 8 of 26 scoring just 18 points.

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction:
The young Magic found their confidence and will be motivated to even up the series with a victory on Saturday. Jamahl Mosley gets kudos for his defensive plan and adjustments.
Before the series, Orlando was projected to struggle offensively but to excel defensively. Both points have proven correct for the most part, especially the defense which not only has the Cavs ranked last of the 16 playoff teams on offense but they’ve yet to score 100 points.
Mitchell disappeared in Game 3 with the rumor mill suggesting he tweaked the same knee he had problems with near the end of the season.
Based on the latter two facts I’m taking the Magic to win, cover, and even up the series.
