NBA Eastern Conference Finals betting - Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic
By Matt Knowles on 2010-05-18 23:01:22
The Boston Celtics will look to build on their victory in game one of their best-of-seven Eastern Conference Finals series against the Orlando Magic as they travel to Florida tonight. The 92-88 Boston win was Orlando`s first defeat of the post-season and they now know that the Celtics are a very different animal to the tame Atlanta Hawks.
The Magic`s 4-0 series win over the Hawks included two forty-point wins and had people seriously talking about them as potential champions for the first time. However, Boston had to overcome pre-season favourites Cleveland to get this far and will not go down without a fight.
Orlando are big favourites for tonight`s game on the money line with Boylesports offering the best price at -333 (bet $333 to win $100 profit), leaving the Celtics as underdogs at +290. Betting so far has seen 65% of money behind Boston.
Betting against the spread has been even more in favour of the Celtics with 78% of money backing them to cover the 7.5-point spot.
The Over/Under for the game is 186.5. Despite the fact that eight of the previous nine meetings between the two teams have finished Under, 73% of money has backed the Over. Boston have recorded forty-seven Overs and forty-six Unders so far but the Magic have leaned strongly towards the Under, going 36-53-2.
The teams are very evenly matched and both are given very similar chances of landing a championship this year, with Orlando at 3/1 and Boston at 7/2 with Canbet.
