The Cleveland Cavaliers play host to the Orlando Magic at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Saturday.

The Magic (4-16) come into this matchup in the midst of a five-game losing streak, grabbing just one win through their last nine games in total. That's a horrific run in what's been a nightmarish decade, and it's really tough to see a silver lining for this club right now. The only thing fans can look forward to is this frontcourt, with Wendell Carter Jr and Mo Bamba both thriving in the starting lineup. It's rare to see two traditional centers play well with one another, but Orlando has figured it out. Where they need to see some improvement is in their backcourt. Cole Anthony was looking like the star of the show through the first month, but an ankle injury has kept him out of the lineup for the last week.

The Cavaliers (9-10) have been one of the surprises of the NBA, battling for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. What's really encouraging is the growth of this young core, with Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen all playing well together. That makes the Collin Sexton (knee) injury even more devastating, but it'll be interesting to see how they look when he returns. It won't be anytime soon, though, and it's allowed Ricky Rubio to have a huge role off the bench. He's been a pleasant surprise in what's been a career year, and it's made this one of the most dangerous teams in the Eastern Conference. With all that said, Cleveland enters this matchup in the midst of a five-game losing streak, seeing a lot of that good early-season work going right down the drain.

Orlando has dominated this series over recent years, winning nine of their last 10 games in this series. Before that, the Cavaliers won 19 of their previous 20 games over the Magic.
