Key to series: \u00a0<\/strong>Orlando needs decent play from its perimeter players to clean things out a bit for Howard. Andre Miller is a smart point guard who should outplay Rafer Alston.Philly is a few players away from being able to do serious playoff damage, but the Sixers play hard and could make things very uncomfortable for Stan Van Gundy, who never looks all that comfortable anyway.<\/p>\n

Playoff Gambling Trends<\/strong>:\u00a0Philly could push the Magic a bit here. Neither team did much damage down the stretch \u2013 Philadelphia lost 6 of its last 7 and Orlando vomited the No. 2 seed with bizarre losses to New Jersey, New York, Milwaukee and Toronto. The Sixers are athletic and run the court well. Thaddeus Young and Andre Iguodala can play.<\/p>\n

How Orlando wins<\/strong>:\u00a0The Magic snap out of their late-season malaise. The Sixers swarm Dwight Howard in the paint but Rashard Lewis comes back from a knee injury and dominates the perimeter.<\/p>\n

How Philadelphia wins<\/strong>:\u00a0Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu hobble around on bad wheels, the Sixers turn the series into a track meet, steal one in Orlando and the Magic do what they do best \u2013 panic. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong>\u00a0Magic in 6.<\/p>\n
