THE RUB

In a winner takes all Game 7, the Magic and Cavaliers clash at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Sunday afternoon.

The Magic forced this showdown with a 103-96 win at Kia Center, extending the trend of the home team winning each game in the series.

Orlando’s dominance in second chance points, outscoring Cleveland 15-2, played a pivotal role. The absence of Jarrett Allen (questionable) was felt by the Cavaliers around the rim.

Paolo Banchero spearheaded Orlando’s effort with 27 points and 8 rebounds. Despite Donovan Mitchell’s season-high 50-point performance for Cleveland, he lacked support from his teammates.

The Magic boast an impressive 10-2 record from their last 12 games when Banchero scores 25+ points.

PLAYER TRENDS

  • Moritz Wagner scored 8+ points in 7 of his last 8 road games against the Cavaliers.
  • Evan Mobley has 2+ blocks in each of the Cavaliers’ last 4 games.
  • Franz Wagner blocked at least once in each of the Magic’s last 4 road games.
  • Donovan Mitchell has 30+ points in 5 of his last 6 playoff closeout games.
  • Max Strus gave 4+ assists in 4 of the Cavaliers’ last 5 home games against the Magic.
  • Max Strus has 6+ rebounds in each of the Cavaliers’ last 3 home games against the Magic.
