Dwight Howard Slam Dunk

The Cleveland Cavaliers backed by superstar LeBron James are not down for the count yet. Two nights back Cleveland got a huge game out of James winning Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals at home against the Orlando Magic. Now tonight at 8:35 PM EST live on TNT, the Cavs will try and even the series. In Cleveland’s 112-102 win on Thursday, James had 37 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists while Mo Williams added 24 points. SBG Global Sportsbookreports that the early NBA wagering odds see the public taking the home favorite Magic at -2 with a 193 total.

Take a quick climpse at the NBA wagering stats for tonight’s game. The Cavaliers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games. The Cavaliers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. The Cavaliers are 2-14 ATS in the last 16 meetings against Orlando and the Cavaliers are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Orlando. The Magic are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. The Magic are 42-20-1 ATS in their last 63 Saturday games. The Over is 7-1 in the Cavaliers last 8 Conference Finals games. The Under is 5-1 in the Cavaliers last 6 road games. The Under is 27-10 in Orlando’s last 37 games as a home favorite. The Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between the two teams.

With the sports wagering odds on tonights game are close to a draw, the game will be an exciting one as the Magic look to close out the Cavaliers. Cleveland is trying to become just the ninth team since 1947 to win a best-of-seven series after trailing 3-1. "They deserved to get this one," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said, "As poorly as I thought we played, we still were there with chances to win and didn't get it done. We have to get ready to go on Saturday."

The question tonight will come down to Orlando’s ability to keep James under control, something they have rarely done. "The game is basically all LeBron, all the time," Van Gundy said. "If he gets in the paint, it's automatically a foul. One of the things we have to do, we can't keep putting him on the line 20 times a game. We have to find a way to stop that.”
