I dunno about this. Magic played a game 7 in Boston on Sunday and now have to turn around fly to Cleveland to play another game on the road having to prepare for a new series. The Cavs don't seem to ever miss a beat with Lebron. I like the Cavs. I would ride Orlando hard in game 3 when they get back home.

HERE WHY ORLANDO +5 (1H)
1. ORL are 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
Underdog is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
2. 4/26 CLE @ DET (CLE W 99-78)
5/05 CLE PLAY ATL (W/ 8-DAYS REST) 1ST HALF CLE 49 ATL 44 ATL WIN 1ST HALF.
3. 4/30 ORL PLAY PHI (ORL W 114-89)
5/04 ORL PLAY BOS (W/ 3-DAYS REST) ORL WIN 95-90
The only problem with your stats is they don't factor in recent playoff basketball against one another. As far as I'm concerned regular season stats (especially going back 2-3 years) are meaningless in the playoffs.

I think the under is the right play but I dont know about the side. These teams havent gone under 190 since January of 2007 and they set the total to 184??? Looks like theyre tryin to get money in on the over and its workin. Personally I think if Orlando covers they will have to do it on the offensive end and the total will go over. If Cleveland does though I think it will go under because Clevelands defense is what wins games. So with that said Im leaning Cle -5.5 (3 point buy), u184.5.

i take a different approach but same answer.
i think if orlando covers it will be a close game with some fouling at the end.

i think the under is too low, just like the over was too high last night for lakers/nuggets.

Lebron and the gang takes game 1 rather easily IMO
Orlando puts up a better effort in game 2

OK first I want to appologize for the totally rookie mistake of chasing my first half bet. In addition I need to read my own ****ing rundown and play as such. I have gone against it twice and got burned twice. I said to take the Lakers juice and make the money not lay it. I also said tat Denver was the team to beat on the west and they are. Denver WILL win this series and I am going to take the points in LA and lay them in Denver within reason. As far as the Cavs/Magic series I am going to kill it in this one also. I am taking all the point I can get in Cleveland and probably the same with the Cavs in Orlando unless they are giving them to Orlando or less than 4. Orlando will cover both games in Cevland and win one of the first two. Orlando is 2-1 against them, won by 11 and 30 at home and lost by four in Cleveland and your giving them 9 points? **** that here comes another Houston play both times. ORL +10 and ML
FYI Cavs fans
Magic are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Cleveland.
Magic are 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Cleveland.
Underdog is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

wide money line like usual at bodog. i agree they stink on any lines over -300 with the ridiculous spreads, but so do some other books...

the cavs have been playing everyday.. and even had two full games this week where they brought in actual ref's to call the game... I don't think the Cavs will be stale.. to be honest this is probably one of the biggest games in Cavs history.. that city is going to be bedlum tonight....
everyone wants to quote ATS trends for the regular season.. but not one of them has this simple filter.. Game 7 on the road , leading into a Game 1 on the Road..
Magic seem like the right pick because of all the reasons everyone stated on this forum.. yet vegas gave them 8.5 pts? Come on guys.. there is a reason why the cavs are favored so heavily against a team they barely won against, and lost easily too.. And don't tell me its the public's perception of the team either..

Orl +9 just because howard will dominate z and varajao, wen they double him, orl can knock down the long ball unlike detroit and atl. Wouldnt be surprised if orl even won the game su tonigjt

wow stay off the basketball teasers. for your own good, i declare an intervention lol.
way too much risk vs reward on that one, no way that teaser comes in 67% of the time imho (each side would have to be 82%.
