The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> will try to pick up their third-straight win over the Orlando Magic as they head on the road to take on a team that could be playing their best basketball of the season.<\/p>\n

This has been a frustrating season for Orlando. An injury to Franz Wagner and a still disjointed offense have kept the Magic from reaching the heights many envisioned for them when they traded for Desmond Bane last summer. Bane has been as advertised, but his shooting hasn\u2019t transformed the offense, as they\u2019re still in the bottom third of the league in offensive rating.<\/p>\n

The Magic are, however, playing well right now. They\u2019ve won four in a row and seven of their last 10. They could be peaking at the right time.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see how the Cavs handle this team in what could be a preview of a first-round playoff matchup.<\/p>\n
