3% Cleveland @ Orlando

Cleveland sits in 2-0 drivers seat but don’t find much thus far to indicate they’re that superior to Orlando. Magic post season inexperience likely bears the brunt of responsibility since there’s not any significant statistical separation. Orlando has been atrocious shooting the basketball (34.3 FG% & 23.6% from three point range) so tendency is to feel they’re overmatched. Close examination shows Cavaliers have almost been as bad shooting just 29% from 3, committing 32 turnovers and the bench going just 11/38/28.9% from the field. Cavs really only standout in FG% margin (+8.6) & defensive rebounds (+18). With so many of the cumulative series numbers being tightly contested have to figure that home floor will play a role here. Orlando’s numbers are likely to tick upward here in the Kia Center where they’ve gone 27-13 ats with a +7.8 scoring margin this season. Atmosphere should be frenzied college type since Magic fans haven’t had a postseason game here in 3 years. Defensively they always show and comfortable/familiar surroundings should generate increased offensive productivity from starting backcourt & the reserves. C Wendell Carter Jr. stated during the regular season home stretch that home court was huge for Orlando playoff success…will hold him to that here and back the Magic to cash this one.
