The Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers play game two of their first round playoff series here on Monday from the Rocket Mortgage fieldhouse in Cleveland. These teams split their four games during the regular season but the Cavs took game one of the series the other day, 97-83. Donovan Mitchell scored 30 points for the Cavs. The Magic were led by Paolo Banchero who scored 24 points in his first playoff game. The Magic cut the lead to just 60-56 with 4:24 left in the third quarter. However, a 13-2 run by the Cavs ended the Magic hopes. The Cavs also made their first five 3-point shots of the game. These teams are very close in talent and coaching and while the Cavs pulled away in game one I expect a much closer game here on Monday. I'll take the points with a much more focused Magic team today. Play Orlando. |

The Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks play game two of their first round series here on Monday after the Knicks took game one, 111-104. The surprise star of the game was Deuce McBride off the bench for New York who scored 21 points. The Sixers Joel Embiid left the game in the 2nd quarter when he appeared to have reinjured his surgically repaired knee. However, Embiid returned and rallied the Sixers to a lead in the 2nd half. Embiid finished with 29 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 33 points. This game really comes down to how healthy Embiid will be. It's obvious when he's on the court he makes things happen for the Sixers. The Knicks might be more balanced, with more off the bench. However, I'm sticking with the 76ers on Monday as long as Embiid is in the lineup, which I believe he will be. Play Philadelphia. |
