Line: Orlando -12
Total: 193

Tonight the Orlando Magic travel to Cleveland to take on the Cleveland Cavs at the Quicken Loans Arena.  Orlando is a healthy 44-26 SU but a lousy 29-39-2 Against the Spread.  This is because the point spread makers have over valued Orlando as a team this year. With all of the trades and lineup changes it is very hard for a team to cover the spread.  But the team is good when it comes to straight up basketball. Cleveland, on the other hand, is abysmal from all angles.  They are 13-55 SU and 27-38-3 ATS.  The team really did fall apart with the departure of Lebron James.

Cleveland can score buckets. They average 95 points a game, which isn't terrible. But they allow 105 points per game. You simply cannot win games with that kind of deficit.  When first looking at this game, it would be easy to take a team at home getting 12 points.  But when you average a ten point deficit and are facing a much better team, it doesn't matter where you play. The Magic are looking to put their act together in preparation for the playoffs. The regular season only has 12 games left.

Orlando is 5-0 in their last 5 matchups against Cleveland.  Orlando is on a two game win streak. Cleveland is on a two game losing streak.  Dwight Howard and company are just too talented for this bunch of players from Cleveland that have basically given up on this season anyway. Take Orlando -12.
