If there is one team that can end the Cleveland Cavaliers 12-game winning streak it might be the Orlando Magic. The Magic have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference and they took out the Cavaliers in last year’s Eastern Conference Finals.
The two teams meet on Thursday in Cleveland (8:05 p.m. ET, TNT). The Cavaliers are 6.5-point favorites at SBG Global and the total is set at 193.
The Cavaliers have the best record in the league at 42-11 and have won 12-straight overall. They are tied with last season’s team for the best record in franchise history after 53 games. The team also holds the best point differential in the league at +7.4.
With a win tonight, the Cavaliers will tie their franchise record for consecutive wins with their 13th in a row. The problem for Cleveland is that they did the same thing last year and still lost in the playoffs to Orlando.
That said, this year’s Cleveland team does look deeper and more confident. The Cavs have won 10 straight at home and have the best home record in the league at 23-3.
Over their last 22 home games, Cavs are 21-1 and have averaged 104.4 points while holding their opponents to just 93.9 points per game.
The Cavaliers defeated the Magic 102-93 on Nov. 11 in their first matchup this season. The Cavs and Magic will face each other again in just 10 days in Orlando.
The Magic went 2-1 last season against the Cavs plus they beat the Cavaliers in six games in the playoffs. The Magic have won eight of the last 12 regular season matchups with the Cavaliers including three of the last five at Cleveland.
