Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic Prediction: Cleveland has the best defense in the league

Cleveland has the best defense in the league at the start of the season. Will they be able to handle Orlando, one of the league's worst offenses?

Cleveland Cavaliers

The team started the regular season well, as they did last season. The team is in third place in the Eastern Conference with a balance of 14-8. In the previous game, Cleveland handled on home court against Philadelphia and crushed their stronger opponent 113:85. They played great team basketball, and five players scored 10+ points. Caris Levert had 22 points, Darius Garland had 21, and Donovan Mitchell had 18. Thus, Cleveland has six wins in its last eight games.

Orlando Magic

The Magic began a rebuild before the start of last season. The team is not solving their tournament problems, and they are coming into the game against Cleveland in the last place in the Eastern Conference with a 5-17 balance. In the previous match, Orlando lost 108:125 to Atlanta, their sixth loss in a row.

Expert Betting Tips

Adding to the overall inexperience of Orlando's roster lately was an overcrowded infirmary. Especially noteworthy are injuries to the two leading players, Jonathan Isaac and Mo Bamba. As a result, the Magic's primary center is Bol Bol, who can't provide a quality defense. Orlando has allowed four double-digit losses in their last eight games, and it's likely to be the same in their game against Cleveland. The opponents have the best defense of the season so far, and they also have the personnel resources to take advantage of another team's defensive flaws.
