Tonight is Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals where the Orlando Magic, once again, have their backs up against the wall. Rajon Rondo has been experiencing back spasms according to some, and if they do hold true, should make it a little easier on the Magic. Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis have been miserable this series, and I look for them to rebound tonight with both of them having 20 point games. It has never been done in the NBA when it comes to a team winning 4 in a row to take the series after dropping the first three, but if it will be done, you better believe a Boston team will be involved. We all remember 2004 when the Boston Red Sox came back from a 3-0 deficit against the New York Yankees. Most recently, a few weeks ago, the Philadelphia Flyers came back from a 3-0 deficit to take down the Boston Bruins. It could happen. I like Orlando winning tonight with ease, and if they can win game 6 the series is won. Boston will have no chance coming back to Orlando for game 7 where the arena would be electric. Unfortunately, for the Magic, I do not see them taking game 6 in Boston. Anyways, back to tonight. Orlando -4 has to be the play here. The Magic have yet to play a game they are capable of this season. One could argue game 4 was Magic basketball, but you can not agree with that statement due to the fact Vince Carter had 3 points. 3. That is absolutely miserable from your “star” shooting guard. There is little hope left in the tanks for the city of Orlando, and you better believe they will show up tonight, something they have not done all series. Orlando thrives as the status of the underdog, something that keep them going during last year's playoffs. This season, when everyone is telling them how great they are, they did what any team would do without confidence; got cocky. Another bad sign for the Boston Celtics this series is their age, the longer the series is extended, the more tired they will be. It is in their best interests to close this series as soon as possible, because a game 7 in Orlando with old tired legs is the recipe for history. History as in the first NBA team to blow a 3-0 lead in the playoffs. With that being said, here are a few prop bets I think once could cash out on tonight. Kevin Garnett Total Rebounds + Blocked Shots Under 10.5. This is a good bet as Orlando will keep KG away from the rim by keeping the floor spread out. With KG on Rashard he will have a limited amount of rebounds and blocks tonight. Another great prop bet is Ray Allen Over 1.5 3 pointers made. This is a no brainer in my opinion. Ray Allen is due for 2 3's tonight you can bet the house on it.
Tonights Plays:
Orlando -4
Garnett Total Rebounds + Blocks Under 10.5
Ray Allen Over 1.5 3PM
Good Luck Everyone.
