PREVIEW: The Magic (35-28) will attempt to earn their fifth straight victory when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers (40-25) on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET. Orlando has been playing exceptional basketball as of late in large part due to its defensive ascension, with the Magic posting the NBA's number one defensive rating (105.3) over the last 10 contests. The Cavaliers bring efficient rim attacks (ranked 3rd) and strong spacing on offense (ranked 6th), while Orlando counters with a high free throw rate (ranked 2nd) and solid defensive rebounding (ranked 4th). The Magic will have to contend with a dynamic Cleveland backcourt led by Donovan Mitchell, who ranks sixth in league scoring at 28.4 points per game while knocking down 3.4 three-pointers nightly—the sixth most in the association. James Harden, acquired by Cleveland in early February, has made an immediate impact in his 11 games with the team, averaging 19.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 7.8 assists. As a unit, the Cavs put up the fourth most points (118.7) per contest while knocking down the eighth most three-pointers (14.5) in the league per outing. However, Cleveland's three-point defense has been a vulnerability, allowing opponents to shoot 36.9 percent from downtown—the third worst mark in the association. For Orlando, Paolo Banchero continues his stellar play since the All-Star break, averaging 29.8 points per contest—the second most in the league over the last 12 games.
