[bgrant909]

Back from a well needed vacation...batteries recharged...mind clear...

Ended March +42* but quickly gave it back in the Final Four and NCAA championship games.

Ready to keep moving forward!!!

8* Orlando Magic -6 (-110) risking 8.8* to win 8*

If your book has moved to -6.5 buy the half point.

Watching Game 1 of this matchup sold me on Orlando's dominance on their home court. Toronto does not have the answer to Dwight Howard. Orlando shot an extremely efficient 53.2% from the floor. Its the mismatch in the paint that creates so many opportunities. Further proof is that Toronto shot 45% from behind the 3pt line, made 27 of 28 ft attempts, and still lost by 14pts.

Balanced scoring by Orlando shows you that this team is coming into its prime, as all starters had more that 13 points but none had more that 24. Orlando flew under the radar all season, finishing an impressive 52-30 in the regular season.

Toronto is 4-12 ATS agst teams with a winning record (2nd half of season)
Toronto is 17-24 ATS overall in road games
Toronto is 4-11 ATS against teams that score 99+ ppg (2nd half of season)

The play here is Orlando!!

3*Dallas Mavericks +3.5 (-110) risking 3.3* to win 3*

Can't see Dirk and his experienced crew not making the adjustments to win this one.

GOOD LUCK!!!!
