Today in the NBA, the Cavaliers welcome the Magic in what should be an entertaining match at the Quicken Loans Arena. If you plan to watch Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Cleveland vs Orlando match preview.
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic
The Cavaliers go into this one with a 27% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Orlando Magic. Byron Scott will be sure to keep an eye on the Orlando streak (W 3), but the key against Magic will be containing Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis and Vince Carter. The Cavaliers point differential is -8.9 this season (good for number 30 in the NBA), but not as good as the Orlando Magic’s average winning margin of 4.1 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Magic will need to play to their strengths and their 24 3 point field goals attempted per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 2nd best in the whole league in that area). Stan Van Gundy’s team is 19-12 this season and today will hope to improve their 8-7 record away from Amway Center.
Cleveland have been dominating their opponents this season in the personal fouls departement, with a -1.8 personal fouls differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 12.5 turnovers average per game is 1st in the NBA, and that will be an area that Stan Van Gundy and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Cavaliers’ 5-9 home record.The fans in the Quicken Loans Arena are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Cavaliers vs Magic online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 19:00 ET today.
