Points Over Memphis Orlando

Basketball Betting Lines

Orlando is coming off last night's 87-56 loss at Boston, as it shot a dreadful 24.6 percent from the floor and made only 4-of-16 three-pointers. Howard was the only player in double figures for the Magic, finishing with 18 points and 14 rebounds.

 

"I can't explain it. I can't explain why," he said. "They took us out of everything we did. I'm not saying we don't deserve blame, give us a lot of blame, but also make sure you give them a lot of credit.

 

The Magic swept the three-game set with Indiana a season ago and has won the last five meetings between the teams. They are 12-3 in the past 15 matchups with Indiana, losers of three straight as the host in this series.

 

James also led Miami to the NBA Finals last season but the Heat lost in six games to the Dallas Mavericks.

 

The Heat have been without star guard Dwyane Wade during their current residency but won the first three tests before finally slipping on Sunday to Milwaukee. Brandon Jennings scored 23 points, dished out six assists and pulled down six rebounds in that one, leading the Bucks to the 91-82 win.

 

Wade continues to recover from a right ankle injury after dealing with foot pain earlier in the season. The Heat have more than held their own without him, compiling a 6-1 mark sans Wade in the lineup this season. His status remains uncertain for tonight.

 

Cleveland, meanwhile, continues to rebuild in the wake of James' departure. Overall, the club has been much more competitive this season but has dropped a season-high three in a row after a 121-94 drubbing at the hands of the Hawks in the ATL on Saturday.

 

"That's just a learning experience for us," Irving said. "Play two great teams and just seeing things they do offensively and defensively, I think we all can learn something from it."
