Magic front-court to overwhelm Pistons

[LakeLVMike]

1.2* Magic -9.5 (-106) (Heroes) over the Pistons
Don't care how desperate the Pistons come into this game looking for win... They won't get it here... Look for the Magic front-court of Turkoglu, Lewis, and Howard to extend early and late to cover this number... Iverson (back)?, having lost his starting gig to Hamilton, won't have any significance in a game that will be dominated in the paint by the Magic.

Iverson is out, so that improves the pistons chances to win.

Iverson vs. Hamilton

Would agree that the Pistons are probably a little better off in the long-run starting Hamilton, but what they will be giving up is instant offense and energy off the bench with a player in Hamilton that can play both SG and SF, picking up a lot of valuable minutes for the team at each position... So what the team gets from him starting they will probably lose just as much or more from their bench production...

Line update

BoDog has a -9 on the Magic and
HeroesCasino (Sportsbook) has a pk+192 with the Heat, will be taking a piece of that overly generous ML...
