Orlando Magic at Boston Celtics Preview & Picks
Orlando are tipped to cover in a losing effort in Boston.
We expect the Celtics to wrap up this series on their home court, but they have found double digit wins over the Magic hard to come by this season.
- Boston Celtics have won just 2 of this season’s 7 meetings by 10+ points
- Orlando Magic are 10-4-0 ATS in their previous 14 road games
- Orlando Magic are 4-2-0 ATS as a double digit underdog this season
- The Over has cashed in 3 of the last 5 meetings in Boston
Head To Head
- Boston Celtics lead the all-time series 87-67
- Boston Celtics won 107-98 when the two teams last met on April 27
Orlando Magic Form
Orlando head back to Boston knowing that one more loss to the defending champions will end their season.
The Magic fell behind early in this series as they dropped back-to-back games at the TD Garden.
They were beaten 103-86 and 109-100 by the Celtics, but rebounded in their first home game of the series to earn a 94-93 victory.
Orlando failed to back that up though, as they were beaten 107-98 by Boston to go two games down in the series.
The Magic claimed their place in the postseason by compiling a 41-41 regular season record before successfully negotiating the Play-in Tournament.
Boston Celtics Form
Boston head back home on the brink of the conference semi-finals, having rebounded from a Game 3 loss to take a 3-1 series lead.
The Celtics eased past Orlando in the series opener, 103-88, and backed that up with a 109-100 success to take a two-game lead to Florida.
That cushion was cut by a 95-93 loss to the Magic, but they issued an immediate response on Sunday.
Boston held Orlando to under 100 points for the third time this series, running out 107-98 winners to give themselves the chance to clinch at home.
The Celtics secured their place in the playoffs by compiling a 61-21 record to finish second in the Eastern Conference standings.
Verdict
Boston are the better team and have taken control of the series with that Game 4 win.
We fully expect them to complete the job on Tuesday, but when it comes to covering it is the Magic who are the more appealing option.
