00:00First game of this doubleheader on a Friday in Orlando.
00:06The Magic now a four-point home favorite, total at 200 and a hook.
00:12In all five games in this series, the home team has won.
00:16It's what the oddsmakers are expecting.
00:19Can Orlando, winning game number six tonight, keep its series and this season alive for
00:25the Magic to force a game seven?
00:27Yeah, I don't want to tip my hand on what my best bet is going to be, but I let the
00:30people know a few days ago that I looked at this line and said, even though, look, I want
00:36and need the Cavaliers to win that basketball game tonight.
00:39I just don't think they're going to do that.
00:40They haven't shown me anything on the road.
00:42And also, as a handicap towards this game, which I do think Orlando at minus four is
00:47the right player.
00:48And still, the under 200 and a half does make some sense to me as well.
00:52You're looking at little signs of life, right?
00:55You went on the road as the Orlando Magic and you almost beat the Cavaliers.
00:58That's something that a road team hasn't really shown up.
01:01So I think that momentum, even though they lost, carries back to Orlando tonight and
01:04they handle their business.
01:05I would be very happy if Orlando doesn't handle their business tonight, but quite frankly,
01:10you got to remove the situation of rooting interest and say what makes the most sense
01:14in the moment.
01:15And to me, in the moment, it's the Magic.
