Cleveland Cavaliers +4.5
Sunday January 27 ‘08 3:30p
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been playing some great basketball behind their maturing super star LeBron James , who is the NBAs top scorer, averaging just under 30 PPG. This afternoon on the road at the Staples Center against the LA Lakers and their own super star Kobe Bryant , the Cavs and James will be severely tested, but capable of a passing grade . Bottom line: The Lakers have been tough on all their league opponents this season, but since Andrew Bynum(13.1 PPG), went down with injury the team does not seem as cohesive, as is evident by losing 3 of their L/4 games. With that said take the points with the Cavaliers as they make it 5 straight wins in this series.

Orlando Magic +3.0 (-110)
Sunday January 27 ‘08 1:00p
The Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics have split their first two meetings this season with the home team winning on each occasion, and we look for the Magic to pull the upset here in Orlando once again. The Celtics have looked to be in cruise control in recent weeks, and they were life and death to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday after losing to the Toronto Raptors in their previous game. Furthermore, both of those games were at home, and they have lost five straight game in Orlando. Sure they have the Big Three this season, but as well as center Kendrick Perkins has been playing lately, we still expect Dwight Howard to dominate that position and therein lies the key to this game. The Magic will be anxious to bounce back from an eight-point loss at Detroit on Friday, which snapped a three game losing streak both straight up and against the spread. They remain one of the best bets in the NBA this season, currently sitting at 29-16-1, 64.4 percent ATS. This series has been dominated by the home teams, as the are 20-7 in the last 27 meetings, so look for that to continue this afternoon. NBA Free Pick: Magic +3
