Beware the team that loses Game 1 at home in an NBA playoff series. In Game 1 the Raptors hardly resembled the team that finished with the second best record in the Eastern Conference. Desperate to not fall behind 2-0 in the series, this veteran Toronto team will come out hungry and won't let D.J. Augustin get off again. Facing a young Orlando team that should be happy with getting a split, the Raptors roll.

Orlando had been playing fast the last two weeks of the regular season trying to seal a playoff spot, but in Game 1 the pace was below average Orlando had the No. 5 defense since the All-Star break and Toronto ranked third. Orlando won Game 1 because it was 14-29 (48.3 percent) from three-point range. We can expect Toronto to step up its defense to another level to get this series tied. Take the Under.

The Raptors were favored by 9.5 points in the first game of this series and lost. Now the line is even higher. I do like them to come away with a win to even the series, but I think this stays close enough, so I’ll take the points.

The total in this game is just a little too high as these are two of the most efficient defenses in the NBA this season. The Under has gone 4-1 in their five meetings this season, including Game One of this series.
