The Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic will meet in the 4-5 matchup in the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. The Cavaliers were the No. 4 seed a season ago in this matchup and lost 4-1 to the Knicks, while the Magic are headed back to the playoffs after a three-year absence. The sides split four meetings between them in the regular season, so this figures to be a close series.
