gris...... just curious, why you like Orlando? I could be wrong but be careful cause Boston has dominated this team winning 7 of the last 10 games against them and 6 of those were in Orlando (including a 16 point win @ Orl. this year). Boston has won the last 4 meetings at home by an average of 10.5 Per game. It's also a very motivating game for Boston because Doc Rivers wants to beat his former team and has let it be known to his players. They responded in the 1st matchup in Orlando this year and it could be another good spot for them tonight as the Magic have stunk on the road. I'm by no means trying to pick on your play but i was real curious as to your reasoning. Good Luck on your play brother and it is gambling so you never know, my thinking could be waaay off!

Wayne,

I'll admit my Orlando pick is the weaker of my two selections.

My pick is not a pick against the Celtics, who are actually playing well right now. It is really a pick on Orlando. I like teams in their first road game off a succesful home stand, especially if they have at least one night of rest. The Magic just went 3-0 on home including a thrashing of the strong Sonics. Orlando's offense is also really clicking right now and Boston doesn't have much of a defense. Most of all, I like getting a few points. My biggest concern is that the Celtics may be undervalued because of their loss at Chicago. Chicago is beating everybody right now so that isn't a bad loss.
Anyway, that's what I think. Good luck.

One other thing. Boston is only 5-11 ATS at home (but Orlando is only 6-10 ATS on the road)
