Cole Anthony's inability to play defense led to his minutes getting trimmed in Game 1, but our NBA picks think Orlando's desperation for buckets will pave the way for the Magic PG to see increased usage.The Cavs disposed of the Orlando Magic pretty easily in Game 1 as Orlando struggled to score in the 97-83 loss.
The fact Anthony played 11 minutes and had zero assists has sent this price point plummeting to a point that is not representative of the role he plays for this Magic offense, nor his skillset. A 1.5 priced at +170 is reserved for a player who isn't capable of generating offense, which is not Anthony. When he enters the game, he's on the ball and creating shots for his teammates.
Anthony is projected to have 2.1 assists on Monday against the Cavaliers, which allows us to price the Over 1.5 assists at -152. Now that's what I call an edge.The best bet is Anthony Over 1.5 assists, but if you're reading the same game parlay section of this article, you're probably looking for longer odds via a parlay. So let's have some fun here because I do believe the pricing is way off, and there is potential for a ladder with Anthony.
The Magic are desperate for shooting and floor spacing, so if Anthony can knock down a shot, his minutes could elevate past our projection and give you a chance to cash all of these legs in this parlay.The Cavaliers opened as 5.5-point favorites at FanDuel, and they are now trading as 5-point favorites.The total opened at 204.5 at FanDuel and has moved one point towards the Under to 203.5.
