The Philadelphia 76'ers did what they had to do as an underdog 6th seed in the NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference playoffs first round. Philly went into Orlando, took Game-1 and left town with a 1-1 split in their best of seven games series with the three-seeded Magic. Philadelphia really put the clamps on Orlando by winning Game-3 to go up 2-1. With a win on Sunday in Game-4, the Sixers will have a huge advantage with a two games lead in the series.
Oddsmakers at sportsbook SBGglobal.com expect Orlando to bounce back on Sunday having the Magic installed as 4-chalk favorites over the Sixers with a 191 total. Orlando is a -185 favorite on the SBG Global moneyline while the home two Sixers backers are getting +165 odds.

In NBA betting trends, the Sixers are 3-0 ATS while the UNDER has cashed on the total in 2-of-3 games. The Sixers cashed for backers as an underdog in all three playoffs games played. For some reason, oddsmakers keep chalking the Magic as favorite including Sunday at -4.
In Game-3 on Friday, Orlando worked its way back from a 17-point first half deficit to gain the lead late in the fourth quarter. Dwight Howard, a career 60 percent shooter from the charity stripe, stepped up to the line and buried two pivotal free throws with 6.9 seconds left to tie the game. Then the Sixers spoiled the comeback when Thaddeus Young sinks a game-winning layup with 2-seconds left on the clock.
"We took their first option out on the play, (Andre) Iguodala, and then Young loses the ball and we still end up with a loss," Magic Head Coach Stan Van Gundy explained about the last sequence of events in his postgame press conference. "So it was a tough one, but we'll come back on Sunday and try to even things up."
