NBA Betting Guide for May 3: Orlando Looking to Force Game

We have two Game 6 showdowns set in the NBA tonight, so let’s dive into everything you need to know for the night ahead.

First up, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic will face off in Central Florida tonight after every home team has won in each game this series. Orlando seems destined to force a Game 7 back in Cleveland on Sunday, and after their Game 5 thriller, Game 7 would be an epic battle.

Secondly, the Dallas Mavericks will host the LA Clippers with a prime opportunity to send the Clippers home. After a dominating effort in Game 5 by the Mavericks, it’s hard to imagine the Clips mounting any sort of resilient effort tonight after they looked lifeless.

It’s going to be a fun night of NBA hoops, so let’s lock in, enjoy the games, and pump out some winners!
