The road team is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings and the underdog is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings go tonight my bet is pretty obvious. The Magic’s spirit is broken and the Lakers smell blood. Take the Lakers!

Lakers +4

Overall Record:

NBA 43-36
MLB 29-21-1
NHL 1-2
College Football 106-92-1
NFL 103-72-5
College Basketball 197-149-6

It the Orlando Magic break the all-time record for field goal percentage in a NBA Finals game and they still can only beat the Lakers by four points then that makes me think they are in trouble. I’m going with the Lakers tonight in Game 4.

Lakers +2.5

Overall Record:

NBA 42-36

Lebron and the Cavs have their backs against the wall which would make you think they will come out fighting tonight in Cleveland. While I do think the Cavaliers will get a win tonight and take the series to Game 6 I do not think they cover the spread. Orlando seems to have the Cavs number and unless Cleveland’s inside game steps up this will be another close matchup. Take the Magic.

Magic +7.5

Overall Record:

NBA 42-34
MLB 26-18-1
NHL 0-1
College Football 106-92-1
NFL 103-72-5
College Basketball 197-149-6

The series is all knotted at up at 2-2 and tonight we are back in LA. The Lakers are 19-0 all-time in Game 5 of a 2-2 series so for that stat alone I’m taking them. I do also think the Lakers will actually hit the boards tonight and the home crowd should push them over the edge. Take the Lakers tonight!

LA Lakers -5.5

Overall Record:

NBA 41-34
MLB 26-18-1
NHL 0-1

College Basketball 197-149-6

In my eyes if the Cavs don’t pull out game 4 tonight in Orlando then you can chalk this series up. In the last game all the Cavaliers stood around and watched Lebron play basketball which was the biggest mistake they could make. The Cavs do have talent and must come into tonight’s game with a gameplan to get others involved early in the game. I think Mike Brown addresses this issue and the Cavs cover.

Cavaliers +1

Overall Record:

NBA 41-33
MLB 26-18-1

College Basketball 197-149-6

The Nuggets for all intent and purpose controlled Game 1 in LA , but let things slip away at the very end. I’m taking the Nuggets tonight because I think it will either be very close again or they will steal one from the Lakers tonight on the road.

Nuggets +5.5

Overall Record:

NBA 40-33
MLB 26-18-1
NHL 0-1
College Football 106-92-1
NFL 103-72-5
College Basketball 197-149-6

Everything tells me I should take the Nuggets due to their performance so far in this year’s playoffs. Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony seem very focused on making the NBA Finals, but I don’t think they get the Game 1 tonight in LA. The Lakers have owned the Nuggets in recent matchups and I also think the Lakers will be much more focused tonight than they were in the Rockets series. Take the Lakers.

Lakers -6.5

Overall Record:

NBA 40-32
MLB 25-17-1
NHL 0-1
College Football 106-92-1
NFL 103-72-5
College Basketball 197-149-6

I will take the Celtics purely due to their recent experience in game sevens. It also doesn’t hurt that Boston is playing in TD Northbank Garden tonight against Orlando. Celts should already be eliminated if the Magic would have played their cards right so look for this to the incentive that pushes Boston over the top.

Celtics -2.5

Overall Record:

NBA 40-31
MLB 25-16-1
NHL 0-1
College Football 106-92-1
NFL 103-72-5
