EAST FIRST ROUND
No. 8 ORLANDO (+280) vs. No. 1 DETROIT (-350)
Tied 3-3
GAME 7 — ORL @ DET (May 3)
Spread: Pistons -8.5
Moneyline: Pistons -350, Magic +280
O/U: 202.5
What to know: Orlando had it … until it didn't. With a chance to close out the series on their home floor, the Magic led 60-38 at halftime of Game 6. They were then outscored 24-11 in the third and 31-8 in the fourth, losing 93-79. Ouch. That one could come back to haunt them if they lose Game 7 in Detroit.
No. 7 PHILADELPHIA (+235) vs. No. 2 BOSTON (-290)
Tied 3-3
GAME 7 — PHI @ BOS (May 2)
Spread: Celtics -8.5
Moneyline: Celtics -295, 76ers +235
O/U: 205.5
What to know: The Sixers still have life, upsetting Boston on its home floor in Game 5 and sending the series back to Philadelphia. Joel Embiid has only played twice in this series, but in those two games, he's averaging 29.5 points, highlighted by the 33 he scored in Game 5. Can Philly push this one to seven with a win on its home floor in Game 6?
No. 5 TORONTO (+245) vs. No. 4 CLEVELAND (-300)
Tied 3-3
GAME 7 — TOR @ CLE (May 2)
Spread: Cavs -8.5
Moneyline: Cavs -310, Raptors +250
O/U: 210.5
What to know: Home court has held true through six games in this series, as things head back to Cleveland for Game 7. With the Raptors down by one, RJ Barrett hit a 3 with 1.6 seconds to go, giving Toronto a 112-110 lead that it would not relinquish. Now, it all comes down to Sunday.
