The Eastern Conference Finals get underway on Wednesday as the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Orlando Magic. While the Cavaliers are heavily favored in Game 1 and in this series, the Magic believe they can win. “We have a great chance of winning, but it’s going to take playing hard for 48 minutes if we want to win a championship.” Orlando’s Dwight Howard said, “Cleveland is tough and we understand that they have been sitting at home waiting, they got a lot of rest, but we have to be mentally prepared and ready to go to battle with a team like Cleveland.”
SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Cavaliers at Home.
The Magic actually won two of the three regular season games against the Cavaliers this season including handing Cleveland their worst loss of the season 116-87 back on April 3rd. “Their pick-and-roll game is tough for us to handle. It’s tough for anybody to handle.” Cleveland head coach Mike Brown said, “Defensively, they do a nice job also, especially with Dwight hanging around the paint. So we’re going to have to make sure we attack them and try to get to the free-throw line.”
