2009 NBA Finals Picks Game 2 – Magic @ Lakers – Covering The Spread
FiveStarPick.com has been on fire in the 2009 NBA Postseason and today we will be giving our members the Total in Game 2 of the 2009 NBA Finals. The Orlando Magic are still in “Lala Land” to face off with Kobe Bryant and the Lake show. Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Lakers as 6.5-point home favorites with a total of 202.5.
L.A. was dominant in Game 1 on Thursday night winning 100-75 and easily covering the spread as 6 ½-point home favorites. Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 40 points with eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals, two blocked shots and only one turnover. Pau Gasol added 16 points and eight boards, while Lamar Odom had another postseason double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds.
For Orlando, Dwight Howard had a terrible night going just 1 for 6 from the floor for 12 points. He still managed to grab 15 rebounds, but Howard’s will have to step up his scoring if the Magic want to have any chance of beating the Lakers in Game 2. Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis didn’t provide much of a spark either. Turkoglu finished with 13 points and committed more turnovers (four) than assists (two). Lewis was held to only eight points, going 2-for-10 from the field. Orlando made a meager 29.9 percent of its shots from the floor and scored only 75-points, their lowest scoring game since losing 82-73 to Denver way back in February.
Contrary to what most of the pundits think, the pros at FiveStarPick.com know that this series is far from over, so remember, Orlando won both regular-season encounters with the Lakers, including a 109-103 win at the Staples Center on January 16th. Don’t get trapped on the favorites in this series.
Now let’s talk trends…The Under is 2-1 in the three head-to-head meetings between these teams this year and is 57-45 overall for the Magic, 26-26 on the road. The Under is 52-48-1 overall for the Lakers, 27-25 in their home games. The Under is on a 9-2 run for L.A. in its last 11 games regardless of venue. L.A. has watched the Under go 16-5 in its last 21 home outings.
