Orlando Magic, two point favorites at LinesMaker, beat Cleveland 101 – 95 on Sunday. This was the third straight loss for the Cavs, after a 13 game winning streak.
Sunday’s game was a battle of the Supermen on court. Shaquille O’Neal has been known as Superman throughout most of his 17 year NBA career and Dwight Howard has also earned that nickname much to O’Neal’s chagrin., he has even been heard calling Howard an “impostor”. The game on Saturday definitely saw a visible battle of the NBA superheroes. Howard had 22 points and 16 rebounds for Orlando and O’Neal finished with 20 points.
Could history repeat itself this year? LinesMaker has the Cavaliers at betting odds of -275 s to win the Eastern Conference but Orlando eliminated them in the finals last year. The Magic is in great form; they have won nine their last eleven home games and the Cavs may be on a losing streak but they still are leading Orlando in the standings.
