NBA Parlay Pick – Magic vs. Celtics in Game 2
The Boston Celtics (66-24 SU, 46-43-1 ATS, 47-42-1 O/U) will be looking to even their second-round Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Orlando Magic (64-25 SU, 52-36-1 ATS, 38-51 O/U) at one victory apiece when the two Eastern Conference rivals square off at TD Banknorth Garden tonight at 8 PM ET.
The Magic narrowly escaped with a 95-90 victory in Game 1 on Monday night as forward Rashard Lewis scored a team-high 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds to help Orlando cover the spread for NBA betting backers as 1.5-point road underdogs in the BetUS Sportsbook.
Dwight Howard added a double-double for Orlando with16 points and 22 rebounds as the final score played Under the 188.5-point O/U total.
All-star forward Paul Pierce led Boston with a team-high 23 points in a losing effort.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends, followed by my in-depth analysis and NBA Free Picks.
The Magic are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600.
The Magic are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games as a road underdog.
The Celtics are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS loss.

The Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
The Magic are 4-12 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Boston.
The Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

NBA Odds
Orlando Magic -4 -110
Boston Celtics +4 -110
Over 188 -110
Under 188 -110
Analysis: While I like the Boston Celtics to win tonight’s contest over the Magic, I’m not necessarily sure they can beat the Magic by five points without team leader Kevin Garnett.
I think the Magic cover the spread again tonight in a losing effort while the Under plays out for the fifth straight game between these ballclubs and sixth in the last seven overall.
