#509 Miami Heat at #510 Orlando Magic<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These Southeast Division foes split their four regular season meetings last year with Orlando winning-and-covering the first two and Miami returning the favor in the final two. The over is 7-3 in the last ten contests with three of last year’s games easily going over the total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#511 Toronto Raptors at #512 Atlanta Hawks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The road ‘dog won all three meetings last season. The Hawks earned a convincing 29-point win in Toronto in December, then the Raptors returned the favor with a pair of wins in Atlanta in January.

#513 Philadelphia 76ers at #514 Boston Celtics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

#515 Detroit Pistons at #516 Chicago Bulls<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Pistons went 3-1 straight-up and against the spread in this Central Division matchup last season. All three of Detroit’s wins came within a span of 11 days in February before the All-Star Break. The road team has won five of the last six meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#517 New Orleans Pelicans at #518 Memphis Grizzlies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Memphis won all four meetings last season, but all four games were competitive and this has been a tightly-contested series over the last couple years.

#519 Washington Wizards at #520 Milwaukee Bucks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
