Orlando Magic Odds to Win 2009 NBA Championship Improves
Last week the Orlando Magic promised a payout of more than $800 for every $100 bet. Those odds have since been cut to +370 (for a payout of $370 on every $100 bet). Still great value. Even better news for all you Lebron James fans out there is that the Cleveland Cavaliers pay $215 for every $100 bet compared to the risk required just days earlier when they were better than even favorites to win the 2009 NBA Championship.
The Magic come into Monday with a 2-1 lead in the series and they can just taste the NBA finals.
Dwight Howard led the way Sunday with 24 points (including 14-for-19 free throws) and nine rebounds despite being limited to 28 minutes due to foul trouble with the Magic limiting the Cavs to a postseason-low 37.2 percent shooting. While LeBron James finished with 41 points (including a postseason career-high 18 made foul shots and 24 free-throw attempts), no other Cleveland player scored more than 15 points, including just eight combined points off the bench.
"We just kept fighting. That's what we got to do, we fight to the end," Howard said. "We can't worry about nothing, we can't worry about the calls, can't worry about nobody else. We just got to get out there and play."
Cleveland have lost six of their last seven in Orlando.
The Cavs better come up with a way to win Tuesday night as they stand to go down 1-3 in this series.
