I’ve been anxious but feeling a lot more confident in Orlando today

Cavs taking this. Home court matters vs. a young team.

I just hope the Magic fight to the end.

Gary Harris is a go so that should aid in limiting Mitchell a bit.

Allen is still considered questionable (very likely going to play).

Cavs reporter said Allen didn't warm up during his normal time slot. Doubt he plays if no one saw him by now.

Yeah, so far no word on Allen. And Harris playing would be huge for Orlando. I’m not feeling too good about this one.

Rib bruises are tricky and annoying.

I’m sure he can play, but he’ll be in some discomfort. I don’t think it’s a matter of it worsening but if his limited play because of discomfort will cause more damage than good.

Orlando +3.5 near gametime.

No horse in this race but picking Magic just based on Vegas lines.

Orlando has been the best team over the first 6 games, and I have them winning today.

Gary Harris is available for Orlando.

Jarrett Allen is out for Cleveland.

Good luck Orlando fans! I love these new up-and-coming teams that seem to be rising up together with their rising stars: Orlando, Okc & Wolves… The future’s arriving in the playoffs this year.

Everyone is picking the magic…that tells me something important

If Cavs lose this game to an inexperienced Magic team, it's time for wholesale changes: ie. get ready for Mitchell to force his way to the Lakers.

I would love this Cavs team if not for Darius Garland. Kid is terrible. No way in Sam Hell I’m playing him 35 minutes while leaving a much smarter player and better shooter in Merrill glued to the bench. Mitchell can initiate offense with no problem, Garlajd is highly unnecessary with all the mistakes he makes on both ends.

Cavs are going to win, aren't they

I should've cashed out last night.

No Allen.

Looks like Mobley and Mitchell are going to try and give it a try.

I liked Garland so much before Mitchell arrived. Still think that kid has great tools as an off-ball shooter, on-ball playmaker, and dude who can hit pull-up 3s off the PnR. But he needs a change of scenery if Mitchell stays in Cleveland.

6 home games 6 home wins and Cavs favoured.... Hopefully the home crowd is rocking to help secure that W. I like both teams but I would actually lean Orlando, too. They have been a lot more competitive in games 3-6 and Games 1-2 of CLE winning seem far away now, Allen is banged up, the size is an issue.

Don't know how you can go against the Cavs...every team has won at home in this series. But the Magic just getting to this point at this stage of development is a major success

Who wins?
