The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Orlando Magic 119-105 at Kia Center on Saturday, and the Cavs will look for a second straight win in Monday’s rematch at Rocket Arena.
My Magic vs. Cavaliers predictions expect Anthony Black to continue to stuff the stat sheet with Franz Wagner sidelined.
Here are my best free NBA picks for this Eastern Conference showdown on Monday, January 26.
Magic vs Cavaliers prediction
Magic vs Cavaliers best bet: Anthony Black Over 23.5 points + rebounds + assists (-125)
Anthony Black has started each of his last 20 games, averaging 18.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.2 assists, good for 28.1 PRA.
In that span, he’s gone for 24+ PRA 16 times, including six of his last eight starts on the road. He’s reached that mark in nine of his last 11 road games overall.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have surrendered the 10th-most points, 10th-most 3-pointers, 12th-most assists, and 15th-most rebounds, setting Black up for a favorable matchup on the road. He finished with a 16/5/5 line against Cleveland on Saturday.
With Franz Wagner out again, expect Black to see big minutes and stuff the stat sheet. He should have no issue going for 24+ PRA and cashing a comically-low combo line.

Magic vs Cavaliers same-game parlay
Jaylon Tyson has averaged 29.5 PRA across his last six starts, hitting the Over on this combo line in five straight heading into Monday’s rematch with the Orlando Magic.
Darius Garland is out again, and De’Andre Hunter is questionable, so I expect another productive showing from Tyson.
Cleveland hasn’t been great ATS this season at 17-30, but Orlando is just 17-27. Recent form gives the edge to the home team, as the Cavs are 7-3 straight up and 5-5 ATS across their last 10. The Magic are just 4-6 straight up and 3-7 ATS in that span.
Cleveland won and covered in Saturday’s game at Orlando, and I expect them to do so again tonight in Cleveland.

Our “from downtown” SGP: Bane gets the better of Cavs
Desmond Bane has scored at least 20 points in four straight games with Franz Wagner on the sidelines. Cleveland sports a Bottom-10 scoring and 3-point shooting defense, setting Bane up to hit the Over on this scoring line, just as he did on Saturday against Cleveland.
