Our Cavaliers – Magic sports betting tip for the NBA game on May 1st, 2024 is: The Cavaliers welcome the Magic for the fifth game of the postseason. In our betting tip today, we expect a much more aggressive Donovan Mitchell on the home side.
The Magic were able to overcome the 0-2 deficit against the Cavs with two strong performances in front of their home crowd and now have the opportunity to take the lead for the first time in this series. On the host side, superstar Donovan Mitchell in particular has to step up at least one gear to prevent this.
We believe in this and decide on a “Mitchell over 24.5 points” bet with odds of 1.81 at Bet-at-home.
That’s why we’re betting on “Mitchell over 24.5 points” for Cavaliers vs Magic:
- Donovan Mitchell averaged 26.5 points in the first two home games against the Magic.
- That’s also his career average against the Florida team.
- In the postseason, the guard averaged 27 points per game for his career.
Cavaliers vs Magic Quoten Analyse:
The Magic have been a much weaker team in foreign stadiums than in their home stadiums all season long. The bookies therefore see the hosts from Ohio at an advantage in the coming game and give them a win rate of 1.47. The Magic’s first away win in these playoffs is now in the books with odds of 2.68.
The Magic failed to score more than 90 points in the first two games of this series in Cleveland. At Bet-at-home you can expect a very high odds of 4.40 for a “Magic under 89.5 points” bet.

Cavaliers vs Magic prediction: Will the Cavaliers lose the distance throw?
The Cavaliers finished the regular season in fourth place in the East with a record of 48-34. Coach Bickerstaff’s team had the sixth-best defense in the league with a rating of 112.7, but had some problems in attack with a rating of 115.3 (18th place). Over the season, the Cavs took the eighth most distance throws of all teams and hit them on average at 36.7 percent.
The same cannot be said about the first four games in the series against the Magic! With an average of 26.5 percent from downtown, the Cavaliers have shown an immensely subterranean shooting game so far. Overall, Cleveland shot below 50 percent from the field in all four games.
The Magic were able to exceed this mark in each of the last two games, which was a main reason for the two home wins against the Cavs. Another factor was of course the extremely strong team defense of the team from Florida, which was already one of the league’s absolute elite (2nd place) during the regular season and has also borne fruit in this series so far, so that the Cavs have not reached 100 in any game so far points could exceed the mark.
With a record of 47-35, the Magic only collected one win less than their current series opponent, but showed similar weaknesses in attack. An offensive rating of 113.4 was only enough for 22nd place in the league comparison. On average, Orlando scored five points more in front of their home crowd than in other venues.
