Cleveland Cavaliers Take on Orlando Magic in First Round of 2024 NBA Playoffs
Cavs Aim for Playoff Success with Donovan Mitchell at Helm
Game 1 Scheduled for Saturday, April 20th at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse
The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to tip off their 2024 NBA playoff campaign against the Orlando Magic on Saturday, April 20th. The highly anticipated matchup marks the Cavs' first playoff appearance since 2018, and all eyes will be on star guard Donovan Mitchell, who joined the team in a blockbuster trade earlier this season.
Mitchell, a three-time NBA All-Star, averaged 27.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game in the regular season, leading the Cavs to a 38-44 record. With his dynamic scoring and playmaking abilities, the 26-year-old is expected to be the driving force behind the Cavs' playoff aspirations.
The Magic, meanwhile, have emerged as a surprise team this season, finishing with a 36-46 record under first-year head coach Jamahl Mosley. Led by the dynamic duo of Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, the Magic have proven to be a formidable opponent, especially on the defensive end of the court.
Game 1 of the Cavs-Magic playoff series will tip off at 1:00 PM ET at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland. The series will be televised on NBA TV and will be available to stream on the NBA League Pass. The Cavs will be aiming to steal the home-court advantage and gain an early lead in the series, while the Magic will be determined to prove that they are a legitimate playoff contender.
