LA Lakers at Orlando
Play: Orlando -3
Orlando is down 3-1 in this championship series. But the Magic very well could be up 3-1 against the Lakers. Let's not lose sight of that. Unlike the past couple of games, there is an extra day of rest in between matchups. That's enough time for Orlando to recover from its Game 4 home overtime loss. The Magic have proven resilient the entire season. The proof is in their beating Boston on the road in Game 7, knocking off the favored Cavaliers and winning Game 3 after losing a tough luck Game 2 to the Lakers to fall behind 2-0 in this series. I can't see Orlando letting the Lakers win on its home court. The Magic are strong enough to win on their home-court against a very good but not great Laker squad. Orlando is 38-15 against the spread in their last 53 games following a straight-up loss. I see the Magic shooting a lot better from the foul line than the 22-for-37 they made in Game 4. Look for Rashard Lewis to take more than 10 shots, too, and for Stan Van Gundy to realize that it's Rafer Alston, not Jameer Nelson, who is his most effective point guard right now.

Lakers at Magic
Pick: Magic -2.5
Believe it or not the pressure is off the Orlando Magic and coach Stan Van Gundy because no one believes they can come back and win three straight games versus the Lakers. With that being said I think they come back and play their best game in the series offensively and defensively. Take Orlando and look for their first easy blowout win of the series.
