Cavaliers Spotlight

Offensively on the road, the Cleveland Cavaliers rank 21st in points per game, 6th in field goal percentage, and 17th in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road, the Sixers rank 5th in points allowed, 8th in field goal percentage, 29th in 3-point shooting, and 6th in rebounding. 

Magic Spotlight

Offensively at home, the Orlando Magic rank 30th in points per game, 30th in field goal percentage, and 30th in 3-point shooting. Defensively at home, the Pistons rank 21st in points allowed, 18th in field goal percentage, 28th in 3-point shooting, and 27th in rebounding. 

Final Say

The focus will be on the total where the under has been trending for these squads. In each of their last two games the under has hit for these squads, while the under has really been trending for this series. The under is 11-2 in their last 13 meetings, while it is 6-0 in their last six games in Orlando. The under is also 5-0 in Orlando’s last five games versus a team with a winning record. Orlando is shooting less than 41% in their last three games, while in their last three meetings with each other, these squads have combined to average 206 points per game. Just feels like the total is a tad too high for this meeting, which is why I’ll back the under tonight.

Pick: Under 221 Total Points
