The Magic played in a just glad to be here frame of mind in game 1 of the NBA Finals and the more experienced Lakers showed some killer instinct. Orlando never seemed to get into rhythm as Dwight Howard looked more like your average Joe than Superman. Howard’s effectiveness is heavily impacted by the  sharpness of  the shooters  around him and in game 1 the Magic sunk less than 30% from the field. The Lakers length on defense has given the Magic big-time problems, especially the presence of Lakers center Andrew Bynum. Orlando was able to capture a 109-103 win over L.A in the regular season but they appear overmatched with the Lakers playing at full tilt. The oddsmakers did not make the necessary adjustment for game 2 of the NBA finals and Vegas Sharps basketball picks brains are recommending a play on the hot L.A Lakers on their home hardwood. The NBA betting Vegas odds OVER\UNDER for the Orlando Magic vs. L.A Lakers game 2 is at 207.0 points.
