2012 NBA schedule: Cavaliers travel to take on Magic and Heat this weekend

The Cleveland Cavaliers (3-8) are doing their best to make do without Kyrie Irving, and they finally broke a six-game skid by knocking off the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night, things don't get much easier for the Cavs over the weekend.

A three-game road trip begins in Orlando with a meeting against the Magic on Friday night, continues with a matchup against LeBron James and the Miami Heat on Saturday night and finally wraps up with a contest against the red-hot Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. All three games will be broadcast on FOX Sports Ohio.

Cleveland is just 1-6 on the road this season, but it will take some special efforts to come away with more than one win on this road trip. The Orlando Magic are the obvious candidate to fall. The Magic have lost seven of their last nine games after starting the season 2-0, so hopefully the Cavs can take advantage of a similarly shallow bench unit on Friday night.
