FiveStarPick.com hits another huge against the spread winner for our members in the NBA Playoffs as we gave out the Lakers -5.5 for the game.  Winning games against the spread has nothing to do with luck…it’s about science and understanding statistical probabilities.  Don’t miss out on tonight’s against the spread winner in the Game 5 Eastern Conference Finals matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Cavaliers as 8-point favorites with a total of 191.

The Orlando Magic took a 3-1 series lead thanks to Tuesday’s 116-114 overtime win as a 2-point home dog.  Dwight Howard scored 27 points in the win and pulled down 14 rebounds to go with four assists and three blocked shots.  The Cavs had a chance to win at the buzzer, but LeBron James’ 3-pointer at the horn was off the mark.   James finished the game with 44 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists and forced OT by hitting a pair of free throws with 0.5 seconds remaining in regulation.

Orlando (70-29 straight up, 59-39-1 against the spread) has now covered the number in nine consecutive head-to-head meetings against the Cavs.  In addition, the Magic have covered the spread in six straight games dating back to the Boston series.  Orlando’s Rafer Alston roasted the Cavs for 26 points on Tuesday night, knocking down 6-of-12 attempts from behind the arc.  As a matter of fact, the Magic have hit 17 of 44 shots from three-ville this series. 

Mo Williams ‘guaranteed’ a Cavs’ victory, but he was just 5-for-15 from the floor finishing with 18 points and just two assists. Delonte West added 17 points and seven assists without committing a turnover.

The Cavs are 44-3 straight up and 32-15 against the spread at Quicken Loans Arena.  The Magic have compiled a 32-18 SU record and a 31-18-1 against the spread mark on the road.

Congratulations to our over 3000 members who hit the ‘Over 208′ in last night’s Nuggets/Lakers ‘Total’ play.  The win continues a streak of 9 out of 10 winners against the spread for our core of betting believers.  The focus of today’s preview is Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals which features the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road to face the Orlando Magic.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Cavaliers as 2-point road favorites with a total of 188.  We think this line is dead wrong!

Orlando won Game 3, 99-89, over Cleveland on Sunday giving the club a 2-1 series lead in the best-of-seven duel.  Dwight Howard scored 24 points and the Magic rebounded from LeBron James’ game-winning buzzer beater in Game 2.

King James finished with 41 points in the Game 3 loss, but neither LeBron (1-of-8) or his teammates (4-of-18) could hit anything from behind the arc.  The Cavs (other than LeBron) have got to step up and make shots if they want any chance of making it to this year’s Finals.  Mo Williams finished Game 3 going just 5-of-16 from the floor and is a dismal 25% from 3-land.  To make things worse, the first-year All-Star caught a nasty elbow from Orlando’s Anthony Johnson that left him bleeding from the head.

It’s obvious that the public and the NBA want to see the Lakers and Cavaliers meet in the NBA Finals.  With that being said, the fouls in Game 3 were questionable at best and you could make the argument that the refs were leaning hard towards LeBron and the Cavs.  Officials called 58 fouls resulting in 86 free throws in 48 minutes…that is a lot of whistle blowing.

The Magic have covered eight straight and they are 13-1 against the spreaad in their last 14 meetings with Cleveland.  Orlando has lost two games at home in the playoffs on buzzer-beaters.  One trend favoring Cleveland is how the team responds coming off a loss.  This year, the Cavs have gone 14-2 SU and 13-3 against the spread after a defeat and that includes Game 2’s comeback win at home against Orlando.

FiveStarPick.com continues to light it up for our members winning 7 of our last 8 tilts against the spread.  It’s not by luck mind you, but by statistical probability…and we are geniuses at figuring out statistical probability.  The NBA Playoffs are coming to a close quickly, so don’t miss out on another winner by sitting on the sidelines and flipping a coin.  The focus of this preview is tonight’s Eastern Conference clash between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Orlando Magic.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Magic as 1.5-point home favorites with the total coming in around 190.

The Cavaliers won Game 2, 96-95, on a last second buzzer beating 3 launched by who else…LeBron.  The last-second play was designed to be a lob to the basket but Orlando defended it well and James had to improvise.  That shot will be replayed well into the future as one of the top 10 clutch shots in NBA history.  James led the team in scoring for the second straight game with 35 points, a mere mortal performace compared to the 49 he dropped in Game 1’s loss on Wednesday.  

While Cleveland has relied heavily on LeBron, the Magic have three scorers to rely on with Dwight Howard, Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu. Turkoglu finished with 21 points in Game 2 and almost stole the show after his last shot gave the Cavs a 95-93 lead.

After going 7-1 against the spread and winning every contest by double digits in their first eight playoff games, Cleveland has failed to cover in their last two.  For the first time in a long while, the Cavs are underdogs in a playoff game.

Now let’s talk trends…Cleveland dominated the Pistons and Hawks in the first two playoff rounds on the road, which produced a 4-0 SU and 3-1 against the spread record, only failing to cover the spread by a point in Game 4 in Atlanta.  Orlando has gone 4-2 both SU and against the spread at home in the playoffs, losing both games on buzzer beaters.  Cleveland owns a record of 4-6 against the spread as a road underdog in this year’s playoffs, while Orlando is 10-4 against the spread as a home favorite of six points or less.

FiveStarPick.com is heating up!  Our members have enjoyed against the spread winners in 25 out of our last 32 plays and tonight we give them against the spread and total winners in Game 2 of the NBA’s Eastern Conference Finals as the Orlando Magic take on the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Cavaliers as 9-point home favorites with a total of 188.

Orlando rallied from a 15-point defecit at halftime to win Game 1 in Cleveland, 107-106.  Veteran forward Rashard Lewis hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 15 seconds left to seal the victory.  Mo Williams had a last second chance to answer at the buzzer after a jump ball, but missed allowing the Magic to take a 1-0 series lead. 

For the Magic, Dwight Howard was in All-Star from with 30 points and 13 rebounds before fouling out in the final minute. Lewis added 22 points and grabbed seven boards, knocking down 9-of-13 attempts from the field.

On the other side of the floor, King James dropped 49 points, eight assists, six rebounds, three blocked shots and a pair of steals on the Magic in the loss. His 3-point play put the Cavs in front 106-104 with 26 seconds remaining, but Rashard Lewis stole his thunder with his 3-point bomb at the other end of the court. 

The victory was Orlando’s third over the Cavs in four head-to-head meetings this season.  Mike Brown’s team is going to have to make a number of defensive adjustments if they want to win Game 2.  Lewis is too quick off the dribble for Anderson Varejao and Brown might have to use James to guard Lewis or Turkoglu, an option he doesn’t want to fall back to because he wants James to save his energy for the offensive end and continue to play great defense when leaving his man to help.
