Payton Shanks writes: "Cleveland has covered the spread in 2 of its last 3 games. They are 2-1 ATS in the last 3 matchups with Orlando and 6-3-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The Cavs are also 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games against the Magic played in Cleveland. I trust Cleveland’s offense more than Orlando’s and Cleveland’s size advantage means the Cavs should win the rebounding battle every game, which will help them cover the spread."
