Celtics at Magic picks and predictionsPrediction<\/p>\n

Celtics 116, Magic 113<\/p>\n

BET CELTICS (+125).<\/p>\n

The Magic are just 2-2 straight up and 1-3 ATS at home. Their defense has been far from the dominant unit it was a season ago, allowing 121 or more in 4 games this season.<\/p>\n

Boston ranks first in turnover rate (11.5%) and should test that defense. Despite the records, the Celtics have been the better team this season and sit 11th in net rating (2.5), while the Magic (0.1) rank 18th.<\/p>\n

Expect a bounce-back game from Boston after losing to Orlando Friday. Take CELTICS (+125).<\/p>\n

PASS.<\/p>\n

Orlando hasn’t had a game end with a margin of 3 points or fewer this season. Given the predicted outcome and the above note, a play on the moneyline is the better wager.<\/p>\n

BET OVER 227.5 (-110).<\/p>\n

The Celtics have gone Over in 3 of their last 4 contests, and they have tallied at least 109 points in 7 of 10 games. While these teams rank 12th (Boston) and 13th (Orlando) in defensive rating, neither side is as good as it was a season ago.<\/p>\n

With Orlando ranking 11th in pace, it may want to push the tempo as well. The Magic are 4-2 O\/U in their last 6 and 2-0 O\/U in their last couple of performances. Back OVER 227.5 (-110).<\/p>\n
