The Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics begin a baseball set in Bean Town. This is the second match of three scheduled meetings. Orlando won the initial meeting 113-96 on November 24th.
Orlando last played Monday defeating the Cavaliers 104-94 while the Celtics have the rest disadvantage as they complete a back-to-back set having defeated the Cavaliers 116-107 on Thursday.
Season Series
Last season the teams played four times with the Magic taking three of the four contests while the Celtics hold the all-time record between the squads with 73 victories in 128 matches.
Orlando Magic
At week’s start, the Magic sat in a second-place tie in the East, and by virtue of the Bucks’ win Wednesday dropped to third. They’ll be tested in the upcoming schedule with seven consecutive matches against Eastern clubs with records over .500.
That stretch began with a loss to Cleveland and is followed by this baseball set versus the Celtics, then the Heat, Bucks, and Pacers. The once top-ranked defense has regressed given the stiffer competition dropping them to third for the time being.
Magic Stats
Through six games, the Magic ranks tied for 15th offensively (113.7) and are fourth defensively (109.3) while possessing the seventh-rated net differential of plus +4.4 through 12 matches.
Orlando is one of the better bets against the spread possessing a 17-6 record through 23 games.
Magic Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Joe Ingles, SG (upgraded to probable — ankle)
- Markelle Fultz, PG (questionable — knee)
- Wendell Carter Jr., C (OUT indefinitely — hand)

Boston Celtics
For the second consecutive match, the Celtics defeated the Cavaliers. Jaylen Brown was questionable but suited up offering 22 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Jayson Tatum led the way with a double-double of 27 points and 11 rebounds.
All five starters scored in double-figures. Boston held an 11 points lead at the half but allowed Cleveland back in the match when they lost the third quarter 25-33 but regrouped to win the fourth and cement the victory.

Free Orlando Magic vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
Having already beat the Celtics once the Magic have the game plan to repeat that feat.
Conversely, the Celtics are unbeaten at home and will be motivated to even the season series and put some distance between themselves and Orlando who enter the match in third place just two games back of Boston.
While I expect the Celtics to maintain their home court dominance they aren’t a great bet against the spread so I’ll take the points.
