NBA Basketball Odds: Cleveland at Orlando

Shaquille O’Neal and the Cleveland Cavaliers meet Vince Carter and the Orlando Magic tonight for the first time since the playoffs.

O’Neal has had some trouble fitting in with Cleveland’s system, but the Cavaliers appear pleased with how it’s working.

He played 19 minutes in a 100-91 victory over New York on Friday, finishing with seven points and four rebounds. Cleveland held a double-digit lead for most of that game, which may have contributed to his lack of playing time.

Reigning MVP LeBron James scored 33 points with eight rebounds and nine assists.

Including playoff games the Cavaliers have lost six straight and eight of nine in Orlando.

Carter averaged 19.0 points against the Cavaliers last season while with New Jersey, but shot only 37.5 percent in those games.
