The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the road against the Orlando Magic in the first game of a home-and-home series! I'll be live updating this page throughout the night.

The Cavs will be without De'Andre Hunter (right knee soreness), Darius Garland (right great toe sprain), Sam Merrill (right hand sprain), Luke Travers (two-way), Chris Livingston (two-way), and Max Strus. The Magic will be without Franz Wagner (left ankle soreness) and Colin Castleton (two-way).

FIRST QUARTER

Lot going on to start this game. Evan Mobley's reads have been great, continuing his momentum. Donovan Mitchell has not been bashful to shoot and attack. Defensively, it's not been the best out of the gate, but Cavs have a couple strips on Wendell Carter. It's 15-12 at the first timeout.

Craig Porter Jr. and Nae'Qwan Tomlin the first subs for Mitchell and Jarrett Allen.

Lonzo Ball checks in for Dean Wade next. He knocked down a three that didn't count to start, then made a nice pass to Mobley on the pick-and-roll, but Ev's shot rattled out. 

It's 25-23 after one in Orlando. 

SECOND QUARTER

Thomas Bryant in the game here now. This is different. Mitchell-Ball-Tomlin-Bryant-Mobley.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin with a couple of threes tonight. Good to see some go down for him. Kenny Atkinson loves his confidence.

This is not an offensive spectacle for either side.

Tyrese Proctor gets in the game now. Cavs have gone 10 deep.

Every time Jaylon Tyson shoots a three, there's just an expectation it's going down. He doesn't even touch iron when these things fall through.

Liking the Tyrese Proctor minutes in this second quarter. Cavs up 44-38 with under five minutes to go until half.

Cavs have a 55-48 lead going into the locker room at halftime. Mobley's staying in attack mode even with the misses. Big minutes from the young guys. Tyson, Proctor, and Tomlin have a combined 29 points.

THIRD QUARTER

Cavs come out of the locker room with some good focus, while Orlando's getting frustrated with the physicality. Jarrett Allen with some nice high screens and a dunk diving to the rim from Mitchell. An unreal transition finish from Dean Wade from Don as well. It's 63-53 Cleveland.

Good minutes from Zo thus far. Best in-rhythm three he's had in a couple games. Playing good D, grabbing some boards.

Magic chipping away, and it's only a six-point game. They've been begging for the whistle in the last few possessions.

Paolo's playing without a plan, and the Magic have not had the best shot selection tonight as a team. Cavs have done a good job rejecting and stealing all evening. Staying in the lanes, rotating well. Orlando not doing a ton off-ball.

Cavs head into the fourth with an 82-70 lead. Thomas Bryant with a fantastic one-hand catch that turned into a right-corner trey from Donovan Mitchell. Spida got going to the hole that whole frame.

FOURTH QUARTER

Very positive minutes from Zo this evening. 

Cavs open with a three from Zo and another from Evan Mobley after Don drew a crowd.

Orlando's already been disjointed, but the Cavs have 100 percent had more energy in this game from the opening tip, and that's despite playing in Cleveland last night. It's 97-79 with everybody doing something.

You will know when Nae'Qwan Tomlin is on the floor. He runs around all over the floor on each end. 

Paolo's heating up and Don is doing it old school, ALL to the cup. Cavs up 105-96 with 4:07 remaining in regulation.

Dean Wade's hands have been critical in the waning moments since he's come back from that knee injury.

Donovan Mitchell is world class.

Cavs gut out a 119-105 win in Orlando.
