Toronto is already in a must-win situation after losing Game 1 to the Magic, 104-101. D.J. Augustin hit the winning three-pointer with 3.4 seconds left to finish with 25 points. Actually, this wasn't anything new for the Raptors, who are 2-14 in Game 1s in their playoff history. Kyle Lowry will bounce back from a terrible performance as he missed all seven of his shots, including six from three-point distance. Toronto still has covered six of its last eight games overall and five of its last seven when following an ATS loss. Saturday's game went UNDER by seven points, and the teams have stayed UNDER in four of the last five meetings. Also, Orlando shoots only 45.3 percent from the field while the Raptors hold opponents to a .449 field goal percentage. Toronto is an even bigger favorite in this game as it was in Game 1. Play the Raptors to get the win and cover plus back the UNDER.
