Cavs, Magic Tip-Off NBA Playoffs with Same-Game Parlay Opportunities
45-Point Spread Favors Cavs in Game 1
Paolo Banchero Over 225 Points a Smart Play
ORLANDO, FLA. – April 20, 2024 – The Cleveland Cavaliers are back in the NBA playoffs for a second straight season and will face off against the Orlando Magic in Game 1 of their first-round series on Saturday afternoon.
The Cavs are heavily favored in the matchup, as they are listed as 45-point favorites and the total is set at 207.5 points. This means that the smart play for Game 1 from a betting perspective is to take the Cavs to cover the spread or take the over on the total.
Another good betting option is to take a same-game parlay on Paolo Banchero to score over 22.5 points. Banchero is the Magic's leading scorer and is averaging 20.0 points per game this season. He is a matchup nightmare for the Cavs, who do not have a player who can consistently guard him.
The Cavs and Magic tip off the 2024 NBA playoffs on Saturday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on ESPN.
