Free Boston Celtics vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction:
The Celtics have feasted on lower tier competition with a 19-7 record. In fact, between November 16th and December 19th Boston played 15 consecutive games against teams with records of .500 or under.
Moreover, in their last 26 games, the Celtics have only played five teams with records over .500 and won twice (76ers, Pacers).
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Celtics rebound with win in Orlando
Fortunately for the Celtics they get to rebound from the Heat loss against yet another lower tier team. They’ll have extra motivation based on the Matic taking the initial game this season.
