The Cleveland Cavaliers are at home on Tuesday night as they host the Orlando Magic in an Eastern Conference showdown.
Cleveland enters Tuesday’s game with a 44-27 record after defeating the New Orleans Pelicans on the road on Saturday night.
In Saturday’s victory over the Pelicans, Donovan Mitchell led the way for the Cavaliers as he recorded 27 points, seven rebounds and three assists while James Harden added 20 points, six rebounds and 10 assists of his own.
Now Cleveland will try to grab another victory on Tuesday as they face off against the Magic in a tough home matchup.
On the other side, Orlando enters Tuesday’s contest with a 38-33 record after losing at home to the Indiana Pacers on Monday night.
Paolo Banchero led the way for the Magic in Monday’s loss as he ended the game with 39 points, four rebounds and six assists while Tristan da Silva recorded 21 points, three rebounds and five assists.
While both teams are looking to pick up a victory in Tuesday night’s matchup, both squads may be without multiple key players due to injuries.
For the Magic, they have four players listed on their injury report, including both Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner.
Orlando has ruled out Suggs due to an illness as he will miss his second consecutive contest, which could allow for Jevon Carter to draw another start in his place.
