NBA Playoff Preview: Magic Look to Upset Cavaliers in First Round
Orlando Set to Make Playoff Debut
The Orlando Magic will make their playoff debut on Saturday when they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series. The Magic earned the seventh seed in the East with a 42-40 record, while the Cavaliers are the second seed with a 50-32 mark.
Cavaliers Aim for Redemption
The Cavaliers are looking to rebound from last year's first-round exit, when they were swept by the Golden State Warriors. Cleveland has a lot of experience in the playoffs, having reached the NBA Finals four times in the past five years. The Cavaliers are led by LeBron James, who is one of the best players in the NBA.
Magic Rely on Young Core
The Magic are a young team, but they have a lot of talent. Their lineup is led by point guard Markelle Fultz, who is averaging 16.9 points and 6.3 assists per game. The Magic also have a lot of promise in their frontcourt, with Aaron Gordon and Mo Bamba both averaging over 10 points per game.
Series Preview
The Cavaliers are the clear favorites in this series, but the Magic have the potential to make things interesting. They have a talented team that is playing with a lot of confidence. If they can make shots and play defense, they could give the Cavaliers a run for their money.
