How to Watch Cavaliers vs. Magic Playoffs Game 3

The Orlando Magic host the Cleveland Cavaliers for Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. Here's everything you need to know.

ORLANDO — The Orlando Magic are back home in need of a big win as they trail 2-0 to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Magic defense lived up to the hype in the first two games, but they failed to reach 90 points themselves in both losses in Cleveland, making tonight's game a must-win in order to avoid the brink of elimination.

The Magic were 29-12 at home this season, good for third in the Eastern Conference, so they hope that will translate into some playoff wins to get them back in the series.
