Orlando has shown signs that it is not too interested in playing with Cleveland-type intensity, and the Magic are pretty much locked into the No. 2 seed in the East. Miami needs this one a little more, so the Heat +2.5 would be a possible play. The Nuggets have 7 wins in the last 8 games, finishing fast for the second straight year.<\/p>\n<p>But 14 is a thick line, and the over looks more enticing as both teams have scored in double figures regularly since the All-Star break.<\/p>\n<h4>Get Your Free $10 Bet Today at Sportsbook.com<\/h4>\n<p>Visit the Bet Menu at half-time to place your bet.
