10 Dime Cavaliers-Magic Under
MAGIC - Is there any doubt at this point that the Orlando Magic are the worst possible matchup for the Cleveland Cavaliers?
The Magic, despite getting torched by LeBron James, have exposed the Cavaliers’ weaknesses, mostly inside, and hold a 2-1 series lead and could be up 3 games to none. So far in the Eastern Conference finals Orlando has covered in each game and going back to last year has covered in 8 straight against the Cavaliers.
Going a little further, the Magic has covered in 13 of their last 16 games against Cleveland and is on a 4-game cover streak at home against the Cavs.
But Orlando isn’t just doing enough to cash in against Cleveland. The Magic are also getting over SU. This season alone, Orlando is 4-2 SU against the Cavs, with one of those losses coming in Game 2 on James’ miracle 3-pointer as time expired. In that 6-game stretch the Magic have outscored the Cavs, on average, 101.5-93.8.
The Magic will get over once again tonight. Take the Magic in this one tonight.
UNDER - After rolling past the total in Games 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference finals, the Cavs and Magic turned up the defense in Game 3 as the Under came through.
Tonight, with the Total set at 188 points, the Under will come through once again.
Consider that over their last 8 meetings overall the Under is 5-3 and in their last 7 games in Orlando the Under has gone 5-2.
Also, for the Cavs, the Under has come in 7 of their last 10 playoff games and is on a 5-0 run on the road in the postseason.
The Magic, on the other hand, have seen the Under come through in 10 of their last 15 games in the postseason and have seen it go 5-1 their last 6 home games in the postseason, including 3 straight.
Tonight, these two will keep the scoring at a premium as the Under comes through.

15* Playoff Punisher
My 15* Playoff Punisher is on the Cle Cavs at 8:35 ET. The first three rounds of this year's NBA playoffs were only expected to be a "warm up act" to what was a preordained meeting between LeBron and Kobe, the Cavs vs the Lakers. The Lakers got past Utah 4-1 but then struggled vs a way less than 100 percent Houston team, needing seven games to eliminate the Rockets. In the Western Conference finals, the Nuggets have easily looked like the better team but the Lakers still own home court advantage, with the series now down to a best-of-three, after Denver's 120-101 win last night. As for the Cavs, the team with the best regular season record (66-16) breezed past the Pistons and Hawks, going 8-0 SU and 7-0-1 ATS (all wins by double digits or more) in the opening two rounds. However, in the Eastern Conference finals, the Magic have come back from HUGE deficits in both games in Cleveland, winning the first and losing the second on LeBron's 'miracle 3.' Then in Game 3, the Magic won 99-89 and all of a sudden, the Cavs are one game away from going down 3-1. One can't ignore that the Magic are now 4-2 SU vs the Cavs this regular and postseason, with perfect 6-0 ATS mark. It's clear they match up well with the Cavs, who had held opponents to just 78.1 PPG through the first eight games of this year's playoffs. The Magic shot better than 50 percent from the floor in the first two games at Cleveland and then in Game 3, while shooting just 42.9 percent from the floor, the Magic made up for that by going 39-of-51 from the line. Orlando has averaged 100.3 PPG in the series (that's 22 points more than Cleveland allowed in the first two rounds) plus its bench has outscored Cleveland's 25-5, 26-14 and 20-8 in the three games. LeBron is averaging 41.7 PPG in the series but too often it's been only LeBron vs the Magic. The Cavs, who have prided themselves all season for being together on and off the court, have once again become the "one-man show" they had been criticized for being so often in the past. Williams is shooting just 32.1 percent, Ilgauskas 38.2 and West 41.9. The team which was second-best in the NBA during the regular season by making 39.2 percent from behind the line, has made only 18-of-68 this series (26.5 percent). So is it Orlando again in Game 4? Mo Williams says no. "We're the best team in basketball," he said. One couldn't tell it by the first three games, the Cavs haven't been able to stop Dwight Howard inside, they haven't been able to contain Orlando's outside shooters and they have missed easy, open shots. However, I expect LeBron to "come up big" in this one and I'm betting that those open shots finally start to fall for Cleveland. Mike Brown is a superb coach (especially defensively) and I just don't "buy into" Stan Van Gundy, at all. The Cavs have yet to put together a good game from start to finish and I'm just not prepared to "write them off" after all the team has accomplished this season. Playoff Punisher 15* Cle Cavs.
