Magic vs. Cavaliers Odds & Betting Predictions - March 25, 2026

The Cleveland Cavaliers face off against the Orlando Magic tonight and this is a matchup I expect James Harden to control. The magic are playing in their second game of a back to back set after dropping a heartbreaker to the Indiana Pacers who are actively trying to lose games. This forced Orlando to play their starters deep into a game where they were originally heavy favorites. Harden has scored 30 points in both of his matchups against the Magic this season. They’ve had difficulty containing him and he’s crushed from beyond the ark in both of those games. While I’m not sure if he’s going to be able to make five 3s once again he is obviously excellent in isolation and is pick and roll ball handler which are two areas that Orlando struggles to defend. I’ll back Harden on Tuesday.
