NBA Playoffs Magic Vs Cats: Bobcats Give Magic Tough Time in Series
East Playoff Preview: Series and Game One Prediction
#2 Orlando Magic Vs #7 Charlotte Bobcats
Current Line for Game 1: Magic -10 / 187.5
Magic: The Magic have been here before. Last year they went to the finals and they know in order to get there again they have to be focused and ready to go. Dwight Howard is the leader of this team and his play will dictate how far the Magic go. They are the hottest team in the league after the All-Star break and it will be a tall order for the Bobcats to pull off the upset against the Magic.
Bobcats: Michael Jordan is the owner of the Bobcats and he is hoping that his playoff experience will rub off on the Bobcats and they will make some noise in the playoffs. Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace provide a great scoring one-two punch but they will have to be on top of their game to eliminate the Magic.

Series and Game One Prediction:
Series: Brobury Sports has the Magic at +250 to win the east and that may not be that bad of a bet. The Magic have too much strength inside to lose in the first round to the Bobcats. They have a quality balance and experience that will trump the pesky Bobcats. The Bobcats have played tough all year against the Magic and at home so they should put up a fight but it will be the Orlando Magic that advances to the next round.
Game One: Brobury Sports has the Magic listed as 10 point favorites against the Bobcats for game one. The Bobcats are a tough team and will be excited to make a trip to the post season. The Magic are a better team but the ten points is a bit much in this spot. The Bobcats are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and the Magic are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5. The Road team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings and the Cats wonāt win game one but they keep it close. Take the Bobcats plus the ten points in game one.
