Tonight’s matchup between the Cavaliers and Magic is pivotal because the series is currently tied 2-2. The Cavaliers dominated the first two games of the series on their home court, as they won both games by double digits and held the Magic to 86 points or less. However, the Magic fought back during the past two games in Orlando to even the series before tonight’s game 5 in Cleveland.
During game 3, the Magic were in control throughout the entire game and outscored the Cavaliers in every quarter to win by 38 points. Game 4 was a much different story, as the Cavaliers carried a nine point lead into the locker rooms at halftime. Despite the deficit, the Magic came out of halftime determined to win the game and outscored the Cavaliers 37-10 in the third quarter to take control of the game.
Both teams are 2-0 at home during this first-round series. As long as the Cavaliers can continue their home dominance, then they will inevitably win this series in seven games. However, the Magic are carrying a lot of momentum into tonight’s matchup from their previous two wins.
Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero are both averaging more than 21 points for the Magic this postseason. Meanwhile, Donovan Mitchell is the only scorer averaging more than 20 points for the Cavaliers this series. So, the other Cavaliers stars will have to return to regular season form if they want to take the series lead tonight.
Fans can livestream the game for free online by using free trials offered by Fubo TV or DirecTV Stream. For anyone that has already used both free trials, Sling is offering a 50% first month discount for new subscribers. These services will also allow fans to catch other NBA playoff action tonight, including 76ers-Knicks and Pacers-Bucks.
