Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic: Current situation
The situation could not be more ideal if you are a Celtics fan right now. The team capped off the regular season by winning 60+ games and they won their series opener against the Magic in convincing fashion. Everyone is healthy and clicking, as this series progresses the hope is that Boston can finish off the Magic in a gentleman sweep.
After they qualified to the postseason through the play-in tournament, it is quite visible that the Orlando Magic are a limited team, especially on offense. The loss of Jalen Suggs is a very underrated one, without him they are just unable to find anyone besides Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner to carry the offense consistently.
Boston Celtics Stats & Form
Game 1 showed us all the strengths that the Boston Celtics have entering the postseason. Even when the likes of Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis don’t have it going, they still have capable scorers that can drop 30 points. Derrick White did just that on 10-for-18 shooting, including 7 threes made. Payton Pritchard also added 19 as the team’s 2nd leading scorer behind White.
Orlando Magic Stats & Form
Orlando’s offense was very stale in that series opener over the weekend as they scored just 86 points in a 17 point loss. Orlando actually hung in over the first 24 minutes of that game, even leading by a point at half time. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner accounted for 59 of the 86 points scored, with no other Magic player scoring in double figures. It’s hard to win a game in the postseason when you have only two reliable scoring options out there.
Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic: Head-to-Head
After the Magic won the regular season series 2-1, the Celtics responded by winning the series opener 103-86 over the weekend. It was the 14th win for Boston in the last 20 meetings, if we include the postseason. Boston has not lost a home game to Orlando dating back to the 2022-23 NBA season.
Boston Celtics – Orlando Magic Odds
Backing the Cs to win again gets you odds of 1/10. If you like Orlando to bounce back you can get them at 9/2 odds.
The point total has been set at a very modest 199.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic (23.04.2025)
Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley is under pressure to make adjustments ahead of Game 2, but our question is do the Magic even have other options besides those we saw on Sunday? This team finished the year averaging just 105.4 points per game during the regular season, that’s more than 10 points less than what Boston was averaging, the gap is just too wide on the scoring front. Boston doesn’t have to change much going into Wednesday’s game, in fact one might argue that the Game 1 win was far from what this team is capable of showing and they still won by 17 points. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown scored just 17 and 16 points respectively, while Kristaps Porzingis was nowhere to be seen scoring just 5 points on 1-for-8 shooting. With those three likely bouncing back here, the Magic face an uphill battle trying to stay in this game. Boston is once again a double-digit favorite, in situations like these the Magic haven’t faired well this season. They’ve played in 22 games where they’re the underdog on the road and just 7 times in those games they’ve been able to cover the spread which accounts to just 31.8%. With no drastic changes made by either side going into Game 2, we are expecting a similar outcome as in the series opener, so let’s back the Celtics to cover.
