NBA Picks: Orlando Magic vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Finals Game-2: The Orlando Magic got a reality check in game-1 of the NBA Finals when playing the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center in Los Angeles Thursday night. The Lakers easily handled the Magic beating them by 25 points. The Lakers have now gone up 1-games to none in the best of seven NBA Finals. Sunday night, the Lakers look to take advantage of home court advantage and get another win before heading off to Orlando for game-3 on Tuesday. NBA Picks Oddsmakers at sportsbook SBGglobal.com list the Lakers as 6 1/2-chalk favorites with a 202 total. Los Angeles is -320 favorite on the SBG Global moneyline while  Orlando backers are getting +260 moneyline odds.

Orlando seemed lost in the trees against the Lakers in the first game.

"We just didn't have any energy or effort," Dwight Howard said following the loss. " We didn't box out, all the little things. We can't control Kobe scoring 40 points but we can control boxing out.

"It's just one game," said Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu, who shot 3-of-11. " It's a long series, we've got a couple days to work on things. We know how good we are and we know what we need to do to win."
Orlando has been successful in these NBA Playoffs in making comebacks. They made it to the finals and had to come from behind against Philadelphia and Boston in the conference playoffs.

When looking for the best sports betting odds, an important factor when choosing the right sportsbook is the availability of odds and options. SBG Global offers betting odds 24 hours, 7 days a week with many prop bets and future wagers you just won`t find anywhere else.
