Pacers vs. Heat (Game 2)

BEST: Total points: Over 215 (-110*) has a 53% probability

Bucks vs. Magic (Game 2)

BEST: Magic +12.5 (-110*) has a 55% probability

The Magic shocked the NBA world last time out, taking out the Bucks with ease. Whilst our model thinks Milwaukee should be able to get the W today, Orlando has proved that the 12.5 point buffer is too much and they should be able to cover again in this one.
