ORLANDO, Fla. — On the strength of the Magic's strong victories Thursday and Saturday, their first-round NBA playoff series with the Cavaliers is guaranteed to continue for at least six games.

The series shifts to Cleveland for Game 5 on Tuesday, and the NBA announced an 8 p.m. tipoff time for that game.

Game 6 will be Friday night at Orlando's Kia Center. The start time for that game will be announced at a later date. The NBA waits until it knows what series are still ongoing before announcing future tipoff times. Game 7, if necessary, would take place Sunday in Cleveland.

After Orlando's home victories, the best-of-seven series is tied 2-2.

So far, the home court has provided a decided advantage in this series. Cleveland won Game 1 97-83 and Game 2 96-86, and Orlando took Game 3 121-83 and Game 4 112-89.

The Magic's defense has traveled, holding the Cavaliers under 100 points in every game in the series. Orlando's offense and rebounding got back on track at home, outscoring Cleveland by 38 points and 23 points. Paolo Banchero scored 31 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in Thursday's victory, and Franz Wagner finished with 34 points and 13 rebounds in Saturday's win.

Another change for Orlando when it came home was coach Jamahl Mosley altered his lineup. Wendell Carter Jr., who started at center most of the season, had been coming off the bench but was reinserted to the position in Game 3. He replaced Jonathan Isaac, who had come off the bench most of the season.

One result was better rebounding for Orlando. The Cavaliers outrebounded Orlando 102-81 in Cleveland, and the Magic outrebounded Cleveland 94-61 in Orlando.

Starting in Game 3, Mosley also assigned Jalen Suggs to be the primary defender against Cavaliers All-Star Donovan Mitchell, who averaged 26.5 points per game in Cleveland and 15.5 in Orlando.

The Magic also shot better at home, 53.5%, compared to 34.5% on the road.

Orlando has been a strong home team all season, finishing the regular season 29-12 at Kia Center. 

Now the question is whether the team can its offense on the road, where it went 18-23 in the regular season, as well as the better rebounding against the more experienced Cavaliers. The Magic would have to win at least one game on the road, in addition to its home game, or two games on the road to win the series.

Including the games in this series, the Magic have won six consecutive at home while losing six straight on the road.

“We’re not satisfied at all,” Wagner said. “We just got two wins. We need two more against them, so we’ve got to stay locked in and try to get the next one in Cleveland.”

Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff said he thinks his team is still in the driver's seat.

“They held home court, just like we did,” Bickerstaff said. “Now we get an opportunity to go home and play a best-of-three series with two games in Cleveland. We’ve got areas where we can change some things, fix some things, but I know our guys will be ready to go on Tuesday night.”

Mitchell agreed with his coach.

“They protected home court, and we’ve got to do the same thing. It’s as simple as that,” Mitchell said.
