Basketball Odds Magic at Cavaliers - Magic One Away from Finals

The Orlando Magic are one win away from returning to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1994-95.

The Magic will try and close out the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday at 8:35pm EST on TNT in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Magic got an exciting 116-114 overtime win on Tuesday as Dwight Howard scored 27 points, 10 in overtime, to lead the Magic past LeBron James and the Cavaliers as 1.5 point underdogs in basketball odds.

"We're up 3-1, but we can't relax," Orlando’s Rashard Lewis said, "Anything can happen. We got to go to Cleveland looking to try and close these guys out."

The Magic have already proven they can win on the road in the NBA playoffs as they eliminated the Celtics in Game 7 in the last round and they nearly took both of the first two games in Cleveland in this series.

The Cavaliers are likely to be very inspired to extend the series on Thursday. Cleveland had the best home record in the NBA this season and it is unlikely that LeBron James will go quietly.

James is averaging 42.3 points, 7.3 rebound and 7.3 assists in the series.

"I'm up for the challenge," James said. "And I think my play, my leadership has spoke for that. So I will be ready, and I think our guys will be ready also."

The Magic are well aware that this series if far from over.

"This thing is a long, long, long way from over, just like the games in this series have been," Orlando head coach Stan Van Gundy said, "When you've got a guy as great as him on the other side, you're a long way from done."

History is on Orlando’s side though. A total of 190 teams have taken a 3-1 series lead and only eight of them have lost. The other main problem for Cleveland is that they simply don’t matchup well with Orlando.

The Magic have won 10 of the past 14 games against Cleveland.
