Magic vs Pistons Game 2 Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magic | +8.5 (-105) | +295 | O 218.5 (-110) |
| Pistons | -8.5 (-115) | -390 | U 218.5 (-110) |
NBA betting sites expect the top seeded Pistons to bounce back in a big way in Game 2, listing them as eight and a half point favorites at home.
Orlando took Game 1 by a final score of 112-101, handing Detroit just their ninth double digit loss this season.
The Pistons were 17-5 overall in games following a loss in the regular season and went 13-4 in the 17 of those games that Cade Cunningham was active.
Cade Cunningham To Score Over 28.5 Points (-105)
The Pistons’ star guard was the only effective offensive weapon in Game 1, scoring 39 points and shooting 13-27 from the field, while Tobias Harris was the only other Piston to score in double figures, posting 17 points on 5-15 shooting.
Cunningham has had Orlando’s number all season long, averaging 32.7 points, 10.7 assists, and 8.3 rebounds per game in their three regular season meetings.
With the added motivation of losing Game 1 at home, expect a big game from Cunningham tonight.
Suns vs Thunder Game 2 Odds
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suns | +17.0 (-110) | +850 | O 215.5 (-110) |
| Pistons | -17.0 (-110) | -1800 | U 215.5 (-110) |
After a dominant Game 1 victory, the Thunder come in as massive 17 point favorites at legal sports betting sites over the Suns in Game 2. Oklahoma City took Game 1 by a final score of 119-84, the fifth largest playoff margin in franchise history and the third largest loss in Suns playoff history.
The Thunder won the regular season series 3-2, although the last game resulted in a Suns win while none of OKC’s starters were present. Phoenix is a bit banged up heading into Game 2, with Mark Williams, Grayson Allen, and Jordan Goodwin all listed as questionable.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Record Under 40.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-120)
This pick has less to do with SGA himself as it does to do with the Suns. In Game 1, the reigning league MVP played just 29 minutes in the 35 point blowout and we could certainly see a similar script tonight.
In addition to this, Gilgeous-Alexander has not cleared 40.5 PRAs in any of his last three games, as he is heavily reliant on points, while racking up an average of 6.6 assists, but rather inconsistent in terms of rebounding.
He also struggled against the Suns when he last played them in January, scoring 25 points on 8-22 shooting from the field. If we see a similar shooting performance to his 5-18 from the field in Game 1, it will be difficult for him to make up the difference with rebounds and assists.
