(Odds for the Cleveland Cavaliers ML is currently around 1.36.)
The Cleveland Cavaliers should be desperate here for a win. They have the 34-22 Minnesota Timberwolves tomorrow in Cleveland. Considering the Timberwolves blew out the Cavs in their first meeting of the season, this game here is the one the Cavs desperately need. Losing here against one of the worst teams in the NBA would just invite really uncomfortable questions from the media that I think the Cavs would rather avoid. Cavs might not be among the elite right now but they should be able to beat the woeful Magic. The word here being "should".
My pick is the Cleveland Cavaliers ML.
(I am currently in the negative with my picks. Game starts in about 16 minutes.)
