The Orlando Magic opened this Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series with a 104-101 win as a 9.5-point underdog. While I don't think the visitors will be able to win both of the first two games in Toronto outright, I do like them to cover the spread again.

While Toronto relaxed down the stretch of the regular season, the Magic were in must-win mode pretty much since the All Star break and that mindset carried over to Game 1 of this series.

"These last few months, especially since after All-Star break, I think we have one of the best records in the NBA," said D.J Augustin, who scored 25 points Saturday. "It's just a mindset that we came in with. Our goal was to make the playoffs, and just not make it, we want to make noise and win a series or two. We feel like we can, we believe in ourselves, coach believes in us and I feel like that's all we need to get some good wins and build momentum."

The Raptors may have finished the regular season with the 2nd best record in the East, but they've struggled to cover the spread all season long. That was particularly true when closing as a favorite (29-37 ATS) while the Magic finished 30-22 ATS as an underdog.

8* play on Orlando Magic.
