Analysis

4* Rotation #523: NBA Friday 4* Cleveland Cavaliers +4 @ Orlando Magic @ 7 ET - The Cavaliers have failed to cover 3 straight games. They did win (SU) the most recent game in this series but only by 1 point in a non-covering home win. So now look at this line and realize what the masses will be doing. Think about it…the Magic not only won both games in Orlando, they won each game by more than 20 points! The average margin of the two Orlando wins was 30.5 points! Now the Magic are at home and in a must-win game and they are only laying 4 points - and in some spots as low as 3.5 points? It looks too easy to grab Orlando here, does it not? You know that that usually means! Indeed, the Cavaliers are the play here the way I see it. In typical contrarian fashion I will be against the masses here. There is a reason this line is holding in the 4 point range even though the Magic have been so strong at home this season including dominating in Orlando versus the Cavs in this series. The last game here Orlando had a huge edge in 3 point shooting. The game before they had a huge edge in shooting overall. But this created some crazy final scores. The odds makers know these were fluke results and so too do the sharps! This line is low for a reason. Don't let it fool you. Grab the points but I do not expect we will need them in this one! 4* CLEVELAND +4
