Subtle Dominance

Favoritism and ATS Performance
Cleveland has struggled against the spread when favored by 55 points or more this season, posting a disappointing 9-14-2 record. However, their games have frequently gone over the total, with 488 of 82 opportunities exceeding the projected score.
Magic's Season of Surprises
Despite their struggles in the standings, the Magic have been one of the most profitable teams against the spread this season, boasting a 51-31 ATS mark. In contrast, the Cavaliers have finished the season with a less impressive 43-39 ATS record.
Home Court Advantage and Lack of Playoffs
The Cavs' status as 45-point favorites is partly due to their strong home record, where they went 26-15 this season. Additionally, the Magic's lack of playoff hopes may have contributed to their lower odds. Orlando finished the season 22-60, the second-worst record in the league.
