Cleveland Cavaliers Form

Cleveland hold a 2-1 series lead but go into this game on the back of a blowout defeat in Orlando in Game 3.

The Cavaliers, who finished fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 48-34 record, entered the postseason on an underwhelming run of form.

They lost four of their last six regular season games, but they have turned things around during the first two games of this postseason series with Orlando.

Cleveland shut down the Magic offensively as they won back-to-back games at home, winning 97-83 and 96-86.

The Cavaliers failed to make it three-in-a-row though, as they suffered their biggest ever playoff defeat in Game 3, losing 121-83 in Orlando.

Orlando Magic Form

Orlando go into their second home game of the series with an opportunity to level up the series after winning Game 3.

The Magic, who compiled a 47-35 record to finish fifth in the Eastern Conference, also enter the playoffs in poor form.

Although they won their final game of the regular season, beating Milwaukee 113-88, they lost four of the final six games as they failed to build any momentum.

Orlando were unable to get back on track during the first two games of this series losing 97-83 and 96-86 on Cleveland.

The Magic responded to those losses in emphatic fashion though, storming to a 121-83 victory in their first home game of the series.

Verdict

Orlando ran over Cleveland in Game 3, and after such a dominant display we have to side with the Magic on their home court.
