Magic vs. Celtics Picks

Point Spread Pick for Magic vs. Celtics

  • Orlando Magic +4.5 (4 Units)

The Magic have the edge here because they’re playing very well offensively, scoring more than 120 points per game in their last three games, while making 47 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 83 percent of their free throws, while the Celtics made 75 percent of theirs. They rebound the ball well and grab more than 10 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also cut down their turnovers in recent games and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Celtics are good defensively, but they struggled in recent home games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Magic. Go with Orlando to cover the spread.

Over/Under Pick for Magic vs. Celtics

  • Under 220.5 (4 Units)

The Magic average 116.7 points per game. They play at the 19th-fastest pace in the league, averaging 104.3 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 110 points per game in their last three games. The Celtics average 113.2 points per game. They play at the 30th-fastest pace in the league, averaging 99.6 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 110.3 points per game in their last three games. Don’t expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total.
