Magic vs. Cavaliers prop bet predictions for Tuesday
It's been a strange series for the Magic's offense. In the first two games, Orlando averaged just 84.5 points and made Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen look like the second coming of David Robinson and Tim Duncan. In the next two, the Magic put up 116.5 while giving C leveland fans flashbacks of the 19-win team from 2019-20.
Though Banchero scored just nine in Game 4, we're banking on water finding its level in Game 5 with him bouncing back in a big way. Cleveland allowed 23.36 points to power forwards in the regular season, and Banchero is averaging 21.3 in the series.
Given his usage – he's played over 40 minutes in two of four games – the odds are as short as -125. Those odds imply a 55.56% probability he'll hit the Over, according to our odds calculator, but our odds pay out $18.70 on a $10 bet.

After exploding for 30 points in Game 1 of the series, Donovan Mitchell is regressing like Baker Mayfield after his rookie season (and all those Progressive ads). Since that opening game, Mitchell has scored 23 points or fewer in each of the last three while going just 4-for-20 from behind the arc (20%).
The Spider has been squished by an Orlando defense that ranked second in the NBA in defensive rating in the regular season (111.3) and kept shooting guards to the second-fewest points per game (19.87). Mitchell's sporadic play even has rumors that Cleveland may need to consider moving him this summer.
As Mitchell's shooting slump gets worse – his field-goal percentage has dropped in each game this series – the odds on his Under get shorter. The -118 odds imply a 54.13% probability the Under hits with a $10 bet leading to an $8.47 profit.
Best odds: -118 via Fan Duel

The only word that describes this series is chaos. It's a series in which the winning team has won by an average of 21.2 points and the losing team has yet to score more than 89 points. But emerging from that veil of chaos on a nightly basis has been an afroed hero capable of keeping Cleveland's hopes alive.
Allen has looked like prime Dennis Rodman with his ability to rip away rebounds while moonlighting as a devastating scoring threat down low when needed. He's easily been the Cavs' most consistent player, averaging 17 points and 13.8 rebounds in the series.
Having topped 28.5 points plus rebounds in three of four games this series, the odds are as short as -129 for him to do it again. Those odds imply a 56.33% probability he hits the Over, while our odds pay out $19.09 on a $10 bet.
Best odds: -110 via DraftKings
