NBA upset watch: Big matchups, key adjustments and huge Game 2s

The No. 7 seeds in each conference enter Tuesday's Game 2s having stolen home-court advantage -- for now.

Here are the key adjustments and matchups to watch in Raptors-Magic and Nuggets-Spurs.

Raptors-Magic

Traditions must be honored. And so it is that sphincters will be a-tightening for Game 2 of a first-round series in Toronto.

A Raptors optimist -- just kidding, there is no such thing -- would chalk up Toronto's annual opening Saturday gag as a "make-or-miss-league" loss, and the Magic are indeed unlikely to hit 14-of-29 from deep again. But 48 percent from 3-point range is an expected outlier, if there is such a thing, not an insane one; Orlando hit at least 45 percent of its 3s in nine of 82 regular-season games.
