Dwight Howard OVER 36.5 Points + Rebounds
I don't think I need to explain this one. Philly has no answer for Howard down low. With Lewis and Turkoglu still affected by injuries, the Magic must rely on Howard more in the post. In Game 1, he scored 31 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. I expect more of the same today.
Orlando/Philadelphia UNDER 14.5 3 PT FG Made
The 76ers are not a good jump shooting team. Aside from when Marshall actually plays, they will not make more than a couple 3 PT FG today. Orlando is a deadly jump shooting team but I feel this total is set a little bit too high. Lewis and Turkoglu are still battling injuries and you need legs for your jump shot. Both teams combined for 12 3 PT FG Made in Game 1 with the 76ers actually making 7. I don't see that happening again. I'll take my chances with this going UNDER.
Al Horford -6.5 Points + Rebounds vs Jermaine O'Neal
Jermaine O'Neal is done. His days are way behind him and Horford is on his way to becoming a very talented player. The Heat rely on Wade too much and because of that, O'Neal doesn't get too many touches. Horford recorded a double double in Game 1, scoring 14 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. O'Neal barely only managed 2 points and 5 rebounds. Though I don't expect a repeat lackluster performance by O'Neal, I see Horford outplaying O'Neal once again.
Nene Hilario -6.5 Points + Rebounds vs Tyson Chandler
Tyson Chandler is still working his way back into game shape after missing quite some time with an injured left ankle. Paul and West will do their thing but I don't see Chandler making much of an impact again. Hilario recorded a double double in Game 1, scoring 12 points and grabbing 14 rebounds while Chandler only managed 6 points and 5 rebounds. I expect more of the same today.
