And while the Finals matchup won't feature
a Kobe vs. King

ATS mark and they've recorded 6 Overs and 12 Unders.
Game 1 goes Thursday at the STAPLES Center
in Los Angeles,
with LA as a 6-point favorite and a total of 205.5. The sports betting public have been
cautious in backing Los Angeles
in the early going, with SPORTSBETTING.com reporting 57% of the action coming
in on the home team.
The two then have a two-day rest before
renewing acquaintances in Game 2 on Sunday with the prospective line seeing the
Lakers listed as 5.5-point home faves with the Total again at 205.5
The Lakers have done well straight up in
their last 10 at home against the Magic going 8-2 SU but haven't been as sharp
against the spread going 5-4-1 ATS and are 0-3 ATS in their last three home
tilts against Orlando.
The two teams have gone 3-7 on the
Over/Under in their last 10 at the STAPLES
Center.
Orlando has done well when underdogs of 6-points or less.

Magic when favored by 6-points or less going 11-9 ATS. They have 8 Overs and 12
Unders in their last 20 in this situation.
After that, the scene shifts to the Magic Kingdom
and fittingly the prospective lines shift as well, as Orlando is a prospective 3-point home fave for
Game 3 on Tuesday with the Total set at 204.
Overall, Orlando has been anything but magic at home
against the Lakers going 6-10 ATS. Worth noting though is that the last five
games between these two in Orlando
have resulted in five straight Overs.
