Cavs-5.5
I don’t see the Magic doing anything crazy. Result should be the same. If you want more action bet the alt line. Cavs should win by 9 or more. Mitchell looked terrific in the opener and should keep on rolling. Magic is obviously on experienced in the post season. That young core needs a few more runs together. They are decent but not enough for this hyped Cavs team.
76ers+4.5
McBride definitely saved them in Game1 and he should now be on the 76er’s radar. They did a great job defending and forcing Brunson to tough shots (finished 8/26). I see the same thing happening here. I believe Knicks will still go and win this one but not cover. 76ers were in it till the very end and the points will definitely matter. The 55-33 rebounding is glaring and one that’s easily addressed. Philly just gave them too many second chances even in the later moments that pushed the Knicks G1 cover.
Lakers+7.5
Lakers proved they can hang with the Nuggets till the last 4mins of the 3rdQ. The closest was 7 with 5 left and the Nuggets just kept executing nicely. I think points will matter again here. Nuggets out scored the Lakers from the 3 and that pretty much sealed it.
