The linesmakers refuse to believe in this Philadelphia team, and we will be happy to take the points once again in the Eastern Conference matchup.
Philadelphia has been able to split the first 4 games in this series, but more importantly, the Sixers have covered in all 4 of those meetings plus the points.
In fact, the 76ers are on a 7-3 spread run their last 10 played at Orlando, and the underdog is a whopping 27-11 against the spread the last 38 times these rivals have tangled.
Orlando's spread slide is not just in this series, as dating back to the regular season, the Magic has dropped 9 of 10 against the spread, and they are just 5-13 against the spread their last 18 games overall.
We feel Orlando is starting to feel the pressure of being the heavily favored team in this series, and it is affecting them. The reverse seems to be true for Philadelphia in the underdog role, as the Sixers have been a tough out for the Magic.
