The Magic played some high-scoring games to end the season all while trying to lock down a playoff berth. The Magic went 5-2 SU and ATS and 7-0 Over in the final seven games. They averaged 125.3 a game over the last three. In addition, Toronto averaged 115.1 points at home while giving up 107.6. These two just played April 1 in Toronto with the Raptors winning, 121-109. Both teams rank in the top 10 offensively since the All-Star break. Take the Over.
When it comes to the NBA Playoffs I've always been fond of home favorites in Game 1 of a series that have plenty of rest, and the Raptors fit that description. Toronto has not only been off since Tuesday, but it's been in a position where it's been preparing for the playoffs for a while. It's facing an Orlando team that's given it some problems this year, but the Raptors were without Kyle Lowry in one loss, and without Kawhi Leonard in the other. Toronto had both in their meeting two weeks ago in Toronto and won by 12.
These teams met on April 1, and Toronto blew out the Magic by 12. The Raptors have been pointing to the playoffs all season, while Orlando is just happy to be back in the postseason. Take Toronto.
