The Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Hornets meet on Wednesday night in the back half of a home and home. The Mavericks handed the Hornets their first loss of the NBA betting season on Monday night in Dallas so New Orleans will look for a little revenge at home on Wednesday.

Hornets are listed as 4.5 point favorite at SBG Global.com with a total of 191.5.

Dallas got a game-high 26 points from Jason Terry in Monday’s win. Terry has averaged 20.4 points in 13 games against the Hornets recently so he is always a thorn in the side of New Orleans.

Four times the Hornets have won by double digits and they averaged 108.5 points per game in the six wins. Chris Paul has led New Orleans in the home wins as he averaged 28.7 points, 10.8 assists and 3 steals. The Mavericks shut him down in the second half on Monday though as he had just two points after scoring 20 in the first half.

SBG Global Opening Line: Cavaliers – 8.5 , Total 180

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.”
