Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Matthew Newman | in NBA Predictions
The 18-12 Orlando Magic will take on the 22-6 Boston Celtics in an NBA match early on Tuesday morning. Both teams are well in the playoff hunt with the Magic 4th and the Celtics 2nd in the Eastern Conference.
Orlando has hit a bit of a rough patch, just 2-4 in their last six. The two wins have both come on their own court against the Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat. The defeats have come against some of the better sides in the league which shows the work that is still required to compete.
Defensively, the Magic have been excellent this season, only the Oklahoma City Thunder give up fewer points per game. This is the first of three meetings this season, two of those in Florida.
The Celtics are 11-2 on the road this season compared to 11-4 at home. One of those two came at the Cleveland Cavaliers who have the best record in the league with the other in overtime at the Indiana Pacers.
Boston has been enjoying some solid defensive displays themselves. They sit 7th in the NBA in the fewest points conceded per game, though, unlike Orlando, they score plenty themselves.

Our Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Orlando Magic were 11-0 at home until December 15 when the New York Knicks came to town. Both the Knicks and the Oklahoma City Thunder have now left here with a win and both teams restricted the Magic to under 100 points.
The Celtics have kept their opponents under that total in three of their last four so this could be another game where the Magic struggle to get much on the board. Our Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics prediction is for the Magic to score under 100 points.
