Cleveland Cavaliers (-102) at Orlando Magic (-116) | O/U 227.5 (-110/-110)
- Leg 1: Magic Moneyline (-116)
- Leg 2: Over 227.5 Points (-110)
- Leg 3: Evan Mobley 10+ Points (-1600)
- Leg 4: Jaylon Tyson 10+ Points (-620)
- Leg 5: Donovan Mitchell 20+ Points (-670)
- Leg 6: Desmond Bane 1+ Made Threes (-650)
The Cavaliers (26-20) escape the grip of Old Man Winter for the weekend, taking on the Magic (23-20) in the front-end of a home-and-home set. These teams will also meet at Rocket Arena in Cleveland on Monday night.
This is the first meeting this season. Last season, Cleveland won two of the three meetings, while also going 2-1 against the spread (ATS) in those games. The Magic won 108-103 in the most recent meeting in Cleveland on March 16, cashing as a 10-point underdog as the Under (221.5) cashed. Cleveland is 3-1 SU/ATS in the past four meetings, and the Under is 6-4 across the past 10 installments, too.
Cleveland won 123-118 against the Sacramento Kings on Friday, but it came nowhere near covering as a 13-point favorite as the Over (233.5) cashed. F Evan Mobley was good for 29 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists with 4 blocks, while G Donovan Mitchell went off for 33 points, 8 assists, and 5 rebounds while going 5-of-12 from behind the 3-point line.
Orlando was embarrassed 124-97 by Orlando at home in its first game back after a two-game series with Memphis over in Europe. It’s possible jet lag had a little to do with the egg-laying against the Hornets. The Magic are just 2-5 ATS in the past seven outings, though, and 3-8 ATS in the previous 11 contests. The Over is 3-1 in the past four games despite Friday’s Under. The Magic are 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS in the past three games when playing on no rest.
For the Cavs, they’re playing on no rest for the first time since Dec. 23, a 141-118 win over the New Orleans Pelicans as a 9.5-point favorite while the Over (248.5) cashed. We’ll back the Magic laying the point, as it is easily a better play than the moneyline. And, we’ll go with the Over.
Looking to the props, we’re going to keep it simple; we’re expecting a high-scoring game. For the players we’re targeting, you would NEVER bet them individually, as it is too expensive, with too much risk, and not enough return. Let’s back Mobley to get to at least 10 points, as well as Jaylon Tyson, who continues to sub in for Darius Garland (toe). We’ll also bank on Spida Mitchell to get to 20 points, with Magic G Desmond Bane hitting at least a single 3-pointer.
Parlay Odds: +500
Miami Heat (-260) at Utah Jazz (+215) | O/U 246.5 (-106/-114)
- Leg 1: Jazz +6.5 (-108)
- Leg 2: Over 246.5 Points (-106)
- Leg 3: Bam Adebayo To Record Double-Double (-165)
The Heat (23-22) and the Jazz (15-30) meet at Delta Center in Salt Lake City at 9:30 p.m. ET in the final game on Saturday’s NBA slate.
Miami is 1-2 SU/ATS in the first three games on the Western Conference road trip, while cashing the Over in all three outings. In fact, the Over has cashed in four straight and six of the past seven outings. Meanwhile, the Heat is just 2-3 ATS in the past five outings.
Utah suffered a 126-109 loss against the San Antonio Spurs as a 12.5-point underdog while the Under (239.5) cashed. Utah is just 1-5 SU in the past six outings, and it is 2-3 ATS in the past five games, too. The Over has a 4-2 edge in the past six outings for the Jazz. At home, Utah is just 3-6 SU in the past nine games, while going 5-4 ATS in the span.
The Heat have dominated this series, going 7-2 SU in the past nine in the series, but the Jazz have covered in five straight meetings, all as an underdog, while the Over is 7-2 in the past nine in the series since Feb. 26, 2021.
We’ll go with the Jazz catching the big points, and we’ll go Over. Then, looking to the props, we’ll keep it simple, going with C Bam Adebayo to notch a double-double. He had 32 points with 10 rebounds in Portland on Thursday, and he has 10 or more rebounds in five of the past nine games. He also has 22+ points in five of the past six outings, so he is a good bet to post another double-double against the leaky defense of the Jazz.
