Orlando Magic vs Cleveland Cavaliers Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Mar. 16 | 2024-25 NBA Season

The Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers battle in an Eastern Conference match on Sunday at the Rocket Arena in Ohio. It will be the third meeting between the two teams with the Cavaliers looking to extend their dominance over the Magic, having taken the previous two matches this season.

The most recent of Cleveland's victories over Orlando was on Feb. 27 in a road game, 122-82. Ty Jerome came off the bench to score a team-high 20 points in the win, built on 7 of 12 shooting and 4 of 6 from 3-point land. Evan Mobley, Max Strus and De'Andre Hunter, each scored 17 points.

Orlando, already without key pieces Jalen Suggs (knee) and Moritz Wagner (knee) for the season, is expected to parade their usual starting five save for Cole Anthony, who is considered questionable for the game because of toe issues. The team is coming off a defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday.

The Cavaliers could be without Mobley (right foot contusion) and Donovan Mitchell (groin) as they go for their 17th straight victory. Despite the possibility of playing without some of their key pieces, the team has been installed by oddsmakers to win at a -11-point spread and -500 money line.
