Magic +3.5 (-110) via BetOnline – Get a $500 WELCOME BONUS
It’s the Magic today. No team has won a road game in this series but tonight in Game 7, the Magic get it done.
Last game Donovan Mitchell scored 50 points and somehow the Cavaliers still lost by 7. Orlando’s youth and advantage in the coaching department is why I love them to move on tonight.
Every young team with playoff inexperience have struggles on the road, but it’s their job to get over the hump. Tonight we’re rolling with the Magic and Banchero to move onto Round 2. Sprinkle the ML

Paolo Banchero o25.5 Points (-105) via BetOnline – Get a $500 WELCOME BONUS
The Cavaliers and Magic are the only teams in the East to win every one of their home games.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. He’s coming off a 27 points in a potential elimination game, shooting 45% and 40% from deep. Now it might seem like a bad shooting night but you know we love volume, and Paolo’s gonna fire.
The story of this season with the Magic has been their home and away splits, very Jekyll and Hyde. The Magic failed to score 90 points in both road games in this series, but are averaging 116.5 per game in the two home games.
They finally managed to crack the 100 point mark on the road in their Game 5 loss, losing 104-103 to the Cavaliers. Banchero scored 39 of those points, with 27 coming in the second half of that game.
Banchero’s averaging 23.7 points per game on the road this year, two more than he averages at home; despite shooting 5% worse from the field. Banchero’s volume on the road is why he scores more, averaging three more shot attempts per game.
Paolo took 20 shots last game, played 42 minutes, and did everything he could to make sure the Magic weren’t sent home. Tonight will be no different. 2
Paolo’s taken 20+ shots in 4 of the 6 games so far in this series, averaging 20 shot attempts per game. He’s been stellar on the road in this series, and tonight being Game 7, it’s time to leave it all out there on the floor.

To Recap, NBA Betting Insights for May 3rd, 2024:
In the Clippers vs. Mavericks, we’re rolling with the Kyrie Irving o24.5 Points (-115) via BetOnline. Coming off a stinker in which his team won by 30, look for him to respond tonight with a chance at moving on to Round 2.
I’m also taking Paolo Banchero o25.5 (-105) on BetOnline. It’s win or go home for the Magic tonight. Game 7.
