Pre-match view
Orlando's scoring form and Cleveland's controlled preseason minutes give the Magic the better evidence in the approved forecasts, while the margin is the least predictable part of a likely high-scoring exhibition.
Cleveland's capped preseason workloads for Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, plus the open competition behind them, meet an Orlando team installing a new system under a new staff and resting its first unit early, so minute distribution rather than team strength should shape this exhibition.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
Experimental forecasts: accuracy has not yet been validated against historical results.
