MAGIC-CAVALIERS PREVIEW


Although the Cleveland Cavaliers haven't defeated the Orlando Magic in almost three years, they would appear to have an ideal opportunity to do so Friday night.

Having picked up the pace over the last two weeks, the Cavaliers try to snap a 10-game losing streak to a struggling Magic team dealing with more than its fair share of injuries.

Though Cleveland (15-34) sits at the bottom of the Central Division, its recent efforts haven't resembled those of a last-place club. The Cavaliers have averaged 105.4 points -- 8.9 more than their season mark -- during a 5-2 run and are coming off notable back-to-back wins.

[Voodoo Man]

McRoberts is starting? I wonder if JV is starting to draw names out of a hat. I think it starts at 7:30, not 7:00 though.

[Jareth Cutestory]

He's not. Nich is. Already announced an hour ago.

[Voodoo Man]

This should be a team that we could beat. I really want to see the losing streak end. It's not healthy for young players to get used to losing.

[Magic Fan for life18]

We have to win tonight, I don't care if we have to play jv as point whatever it takes

[Jareth Cutestory]

No I'm good with losing.

[Magic_All_Day]

Kyrie is going to kill Nelson

[Kobias Hanthony]

I'm good with losing, but every time I watch I still want to win, just the competitor in me. But not worrying about winning makes watching more fun, especially when your team is 14-35.

[O_SteveO]

I think Nik could really have his way with Zeller.

[Jay Magic]

nice to see kyle off the bench before ayon or mcroberts

[Drunk On Mystery]

I'd believe Vooch had all-star potential if he could defend even a little bit.
