Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic; Eastern Conference Showdown

2025-03-03

The Cleveland Cavaliers (47-10) will face the Orlando Magic (29-30) in an Eastern Conference showdown on Tuesday, February 25, at 7:30 p.m. ET at the Kia Center in Orlando. The Cavaliers are riding a seven-game winning streak, including a recent 129-123 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, while the Magic have won three of their last four games, most recently defeating the Washington Wizards 110-90.

Cleveland enters as a 7.5-point favorite, with the over/under set at 220.5 points. The Cavaliers have been dominant on both ends of the court, boasting the NBA’s No. 2 offense and No. 6 defense. Key players like Donovan Mitchell, who averages 24.2 points per game, and Jarrett Allen, a defensive anchor averaging 13.6 points and 10.4 rebounds, have been instrumental in their success. Mitchell recently dropped 33 points in their win over the Grizzlies, while Allen has recorded a double-double in seven of his last eight games.

Orlando, however, has shown resilience despite injuries to key players like Jalen Suggs, who is out indefinitely with a knee injury. The Magic rely heavily on their young stars, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. Banchero averages 22.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.9 assists, while Wagner contributes 25.1 points per game. The Magic have struggled against top-tier teams, going 4-13 against the spread versus top-10 teams this season.

This matchup marks the second meeting between the teams this season, with Cleveland winning the first game 120-109 on November 1. The Cavaliers have also covered the spread in their last five games, while Orlando has covered in four straight. Injuries could play a role, as Darius Garland (hip) is questionable for Cleveland, and Suggs remains sidelined for Orlando.

The game is expected to be a clash of styles, with Cleveland’s high-paced offense contrasting Orlando’s slower tempo. The Cavaliers’ depth and defensive prowess, led by Evan Mobley, could prove challenging for the Magic, who have struggled to keep up with elite teams. However, Orlando’s home-court advantage and recent form suggest they could keep the game competitive.
