The Cavaliers and Magic will meet in a No. 4 vs. No. 5 matchup in the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs.
Both teams struggled to close out the regular season, losing four of their final six games. Cleveland and Orlando have not met since February 22, when the Magic handed the Cavaliers a 116-109 loss. However, it should be noted that All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell was not available for that game.
This series could be a low-scoring affair, as Cleveland and Orlando are 10 best teams in terms of defensive rating. The Magic in particular have been a lockdown unit since the All-Star breakleading the league in defensive rating during that stretch.
Can Orlando pull off the surprise? Or will the Cavaliers survive and advance?
