Boston Celtics at Orlando Magic Preview & Picks

Orlando are tipped to cover as a betting underdog in Game 4.

The Magic got themselves back into the series with the Game 3 win, and when you consider their recent home record against Boston they make for an appealing pick with the points.

  • Orlando Magic are 5-0 in their last 5 home games against Boston
  • Orlando Magic are 5-0-0 ATS in the previous 5 meetings at home
  • Boston Celtics are 2-5-0 ATS in their last 7 games
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of the previous 10 meetings

Head To Head

  • Boston Celtics lead the all-time series 86-67
  • Orlando Magic won 95-93 when the two teams last met on April 25

Boston Celtics Form

Boston go into their second home game of the series looking to rebound from the defeat that cut their lead to one game.

The Celtics made light work of Orlando in the series opener as they ran out 103-88 winners.

Then, despite Jayson Tatum’s absence, they backed up that victory with a 109-100 success on Wednesday night.

Boston failed to make it three-in-a-row though, as they went out on the road for the first time in the series and lost 95-93 to the Magic.

The Celtics secured their place in the playoffs by compiling a 61-21 record to finish second in the Eastern Conference standings.

Orlando Magic Form

Orlando go into this matchup looking to build on a big home win and level the series at 2-2 before heading back to Boston.

The Magic could not have asked for a much tougher opponent than the Celtics, so it is no shock to see them heading home 2-0 down.

They were blown out in the opening game, 103-88, and although they hit the 100-point mark in the second meeting, they could not avoid a 109-100 defeat.

Orlando did finally get off the mark in Game 3 though, as they beat Boston 95-93 in their first home game of 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.

Verdict

Boston are the better team, but their recent record in Orlando makes for very ugly reading.

So while we are not fully convinced about the Magic upsetting the Celtics yet again, we do like them with the free buckets.
