Jarrett Allen, Anthony Black out, How To Watch Orlando Magic-Cleveland Cavs Lineups, Injuries, Betting Lines & More

The Orlando Magic are on a season-best four-game win streak and look to keep their successful run going with a home date against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After a couple of days between the end of a wildly successful weekend road trip that featured blowouts of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks, the Magic will play their first game of a week that closes with an enormous road game at the Miami Heat.

The Magic are a half-game behind the Miami Heat for the Southeast Division lead, although they would hold the tie-braker since they have defeated Miami all four times they’ve played.

Cleveland ranks fourth in the Eastern Conference, entering Wednesday’s game a half-game back of the New York Knicks for third place. Cleveland has had both Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen in and out of the lineup since acquiring James Harden for Darius Garland prior to the trade deadline.

Orlando is 19-11 at home and 21-19 against Eastern Conference foes. Cleveland is 18-13 on the road and 26-16 against Eastern Conference competition.
