Orlando- If I liked Orlando, I'd grab the +10. Moneyline with Orlando +600 on the road is close to buying lottery tickets.

Celtics ML looks attractive, but with these crazy playoffs, I'd take the + 2

Lakers look solid, but laying -275 (current line) is very risky. Even high % wins on this type of action will soon have you reloading unless you are a very disciplined and selective bettor. If I liked the Lakers, I'd take a initial position laying the points and watch live betting. Wait for a Nugget run and then add to your position. gl

Thanks for the feedback.

I was very hesitant to bet money on Orlando, but I think they have become underrated on almost all gambling sites. The Magic went into Indiana for game 1 and pulled away victorious so it's not as if they can't win. Games 2 and 3 were blowouts, but Orlando could have won game 4 and this series would be tied. And yet my book maker is giving me +600 on a Magic victory. > 14.28% and I'm in the profit.
