He was more efficient too.  Still the rest of the supporting cast didn&#8217;t do too much on the offensive end&#8230;but if you are going to hold a team in the low 80&#8217;s on defense you don&#8217;t have to.  <\/p>\n<p>With their two playoff ATS losses the Magic have yet to cover a game against the Hawks this season.  This is definitely something to keep in mind as the series shifts to Atlanta where the Magic have lost twice already this season.  <\/p>\n<p>The Magic had no problems with Atlanta&#8217;s cooking last year as they swept them out of the playoffs, winning both games at Phillips Arena by double digits.  Will Atlanta put up a fight this time?<\/p>\n<p>After getting swept by the Magic in last year&#8217;s playoffs Atlanta made a statement by taking the first game of the series in Orlando.    <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ymo7VEZ8gU2ZXdRsl6wLCi5\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/basketball\/sportsbook_basketball_250x250_banner1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now they are in a critical game three trying to reclaim the advantage they once had on their home court.  Although they have had success against the Magic at Phillips this season this is not a dominant home team (usually because the arena is nowhere close to full).  They have let Dwight Howard score at will in Orlando and got a split for their troubles.  <\/p>\n<p>It might be time to start a different strategy as their current one is not working.  I wonder if they will be smart enough to play some zone given the poor shooting of the Magic&#8217;s wing players right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Betting Trends:<\/strong><br \/>\nMagic are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 playoff games as a favorite of 0.5-4.5.<br \/>\nMagic are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 vs. Eastern Conference.<br \/>\nMagic are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games following a S.U. win.<br \/>\nHawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Conference Quarterfinals games.<br \/>\nHawks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win.<br \/>\nHawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 2 days rest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Magic vs Hawks Pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Magic&#8217;s lack of support for Howard makes it hard to back them with confidence right now.  They are already shooting poorly and a visit to Atlanta is unlikely to improve that.  Atlanta will win to take the series lead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Score prediction: Atlanta &#8211; 97 vs. Orlando &#8211; 93<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?schedule\/league_id,nba\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR TOP NBA BASKETBALL BIG-GAME HANDICAPPERS &#8212;&#8211;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preview of a great NBA playoff basketball clash on tap for Round 1 action.
