NBA Picks: Orlando Magic vs Toronto RaptorsAfter Saturday's impressive 106-94 victory on the road against the Toronto Raptors , the Orlando Magic return home to Amway Arena and are one game away from round-two of the NBA Eastern Conference playoffs. A victory Monday night (7:30 p.m. ET) would give Orlando its first postseason series victory since 1996.

Oddsmakers at online sports wagering giant Bodoglife.com have installed the Magic the favorite ATS by a 7 ½ -point chalk with a -360 money line price. Toronto backers are getting +280 ML juice. The game total is holding at 204.

The Magic cashed for backers in game 4 as a +2 ½ point road underdog. The 200 points scored fell under the posted 204 total. 

Rashard Lewis had 27 points and 13 rebounds, Dwight Howard added 19 points and 16 boards, and the Orlando Magic beat the Toronto Raptors 106-94 on Saturday to take a 3-1 lead in their first-round playoff series.

"He stepped up big," commented head coach Stan Van Gundy about Lewis' Game Four heroics. "He wanted that game, he competed hard. I thought he was outstanding."

Jameer Nelson scored 12 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, while Hedo Turkoglu had 18 points and nine rebounds for the third-seeded Magic.

Despite the series leading and playing at home, the Magic still know they have a lot of work to do in order to advance to the second round.

"We have to come out ready," said Dwight Howard. "The series is not over and we have to look at it that way. We have to come out ready to play, it’s going to be tough but it’s always tough, it’s the playoffs and we have to be ready."

"It’s not over," Lewis added. "Toronto is a good team and they are going to come and try to win Game Five and bring it back to Toronto."
