Live Thread: Cavs vs Magic

Happy Tuesday, Cavs fans. Cleveland welcomes the Magic, tonight, with the wine and gold looking to stay locked in on the four seed to (hopefully) play Detroit in the second round. Meanwhile, the Magic have lost six straight including a heartbreaker to the Lakers on last second Luke Kennard triple, Saturday, and a two point stunner at home versus Indy last night. They’re two games behind the Hawks for the six seed and are hoping to avoid the play-in with the Raptors through the Hornets jockeying for the fifth through 10th spots.

The Magic remain without Franz Wagner, with Anthony Black, Jonathan Isaac, and Jalen Suggs joining him on the injured list. Jarrett Allen is still convalescing from tendonitis joining Tyrese Proctor, CPJ, and Jaylon Tyson on the IR, while Larry Nance is questionable. Cavs should have this one, but the Magic will be feisty and these teams always play each other tough. I’m calling a Cleveland cover. Go Cavs.
