The underdog Orlando Magic fought hard in Game 3 of their NBA Eastern Conference playoff series, going down early but bouncing back to take a lead in the third quarter. But the Toronto Raptors proved to be a tad too much for them, and thus it turns into a little more desperate situation for Orlando as they play the role of the host in Game 4, beginning at 7:05 PM ET on Sunday.

There were some encouraging signs for the Magic in Game 3, to be sure. Center Nikola Vucevic, who had been limited to just six field goals in the first two games of the series, found himself a little more offensively, with 22 points, and he also added 14 rebounds. So perhaps there is some pressure directed back Toronto's way, as slowing down Vucevic has been central to their defensive game plan.

Orlando got very hot from three-point territory in Game 1, pulling off an upset north of the border. Then the Raptors established themselves in a big way with a 111-82 win in Game 2. In Game 3 they came out and scored the first ten points of the game, but the Raptors did come back and take a third quarter lead before falling 98-93, so they are at a 2-1 deficit.

In the pro basketball playoff odds - with reduced juice - posted at BetAnySports on this game, the Raptors are once again in the favorite's role:

Toronto Raptors -5.5 (-103)
Orlando Magic +5.5 (-107)

Over 207 points -103
Under 207 points -107

What the Raptors seek to do is neutralize Vucevic with a combination. Serge Ibaka has been a deft shot-blocker, while Marc Gasol, a mid-season pickup from Memphis, has been the league's defensive player of the year. Both are somewhat long in the tooth, but head coach Nick Nurse does not overextend either.

What really stands out about Toronto is the forward duo. Kawhi Leonard, who had 37 points in Game 2, is the consummate two-way player, who himself has been a defensive player of the year. He wasn't feeling well for Game 3, but the guy who picked up the slack is, in many ways, the missing link for the Raptors. Pascal Siakam has been a revelation in his third year, as he has scored almost 17 points a game and can defend at a high level against forwards or the center (in a small lineup scenario). He had 30 points and eleven rebounds on Friday night. And he's probably Toronto's best performer over the first three games.

Whiel CJ Augustin has been quiet from three-point range the last couple of games, the wild cards for the Raptors might be Danny Green and Fred Van Vleet, who can come off the bench and hit triples. This is one of those games where the Raptors will put in a more complete effort, and if Kawhi is feeling better (he was under the weather Friday), things tighten up for Orlando on offense. So we'll lay the points.
