CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cavs head home for a one-game homestand before their longest road trip of the season, as they host the Orlando Magic at Rocket Arena on Sunday. Tipoff is set for 1 p.m. Eastern.
Cleveland (56-10) is on a franchise-record 16-game win streak. Orlando has won just three of their last 10 contests.
These two teams squared off in the first round of the playoffs last year, where the Cavaliers edged out the Magic in a tightly contested seven-game series.
Since then, the Cavs have undergone a significant transformation, elevating their play with a more dynamic offense under Kenny Atkinson’s system, which has been firing on all cylinders.
On the flip side, Orlando has faced its share of setbacks, battling injuries and struggling to find a consistent offensive rhythm. While the Magic have shown flashes of potential, they’re still searching for the right pieces to contend with high-powered offenses like Cleveland’s, which has quickly emerged as one of the league’s most potent scoring threats this season.
