The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> will be taking on the Orlando Magic on the second end of a back-to-back on Saturday. They\u2019ll face off against the Magic twice in three days.<\/p>\n

The Magic haven\u2019t had the season many envisioned after they traded for Desmond Bane this offseason. The offense is still a mess as they lack a primary initiator and don\u2019t have enough three-point shooting to make up for it.<\/p>\n

Orlando\u2019s defense has also been worse than expected. They come into this game 15th in defensive rating<\/a> after being second in that category the last few seasons. The dip on that side of the court is what has led to the middling results so far.<\/p>\n
