Atlanta at Orlando

The Orlando Magic got caught in a two-man game in game one. Dwight Howard and Jeemer Nelson scored 73 of the Magic's 93 points, while everyone else stood around and watched. The rest of the team shot 8-34 from the field, and you’re not winning a playoff game like that. They were also 2-15 from beyond the arc, so I would expect Stan Van Gundy is going to have them playing better team basketball in this one. The Hawks threw a perfect game at Orlando with contributions coming from everywhere. The Hawks remain a team that hasn't sustained much over the last half of the season. The Hawks finished the regular season on a not so impressive 11-20 run, and are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 as a playoffs dog. Sometimes we make more of a single game than we should, and Orlando will come out motivated and win big in game two.
