Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic: Current situation
The Game 3 win at Orlando must have felt so good for Boston fans as they once again proved they don’t necessarily have to rely on the three-ball to get wins at the highest stage. They shot just 9-for-31 from three, but a lockdown defensive effort prevented the Magic from cracking the 100 point mark for the 3rd time in this series. Now it’s time to deliver the knockout punch.
Orlando’s season might be coming to an end this week and that’s really not surprising. Entering this series not a lot of people saw them winning more than one game and that’s exactly where things stand as we head into a potentially crucial Game 5 here. The limitations of this team are well known, they are expected to make a push for a quality scorer in the offseason.
Boston Celtics Stats & Form
Jayson Tatum once again stepped up to the task scoring 37 points and collecting 14 rebounds to lead the Celtics to their first road win of the postseason. It wasn’t just him though, the Cs won the rebounding battle 46-38, showing just how much they wanted this game. The 6 points scored off the bench was a series low, but one off night by the second unit shouldn’t bother the defending champions.
Orlando Magic Stats & Form
Orlando’s reliance on Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner continued in Game 4 and despite those two combining for 55 points the team just couldn’t do more than 98 total. They shot the three-ball at just 26%, with none of the bench players being able to score one from deep. In order to beat this Celtics team you have to play a complete all-around game and Orlando just isn’t up to that task right now.
Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic: Head-to-Head
Orlando won the regular season series 2-1, but now the Celtics have full control of this series holding a commanding 3-1 lead. They’ve won 5 consecutive meetings at TD Garden so the odds are stacked in their favor to end this series on Tuesday. It is interesting to note that the last 6 of 10 meetings have all cashed on the under between the Celtics and Magic.
Boston Celtics – Orlando Magic Odds
Backing the Cs to advance gets you odds of 1/10. If you like Orlando to avoid elimination 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 (29.04.2025)
This is the end of the road for the Orlando Magic. If it wasn’t for that semi-controversial ending in Game 3, this series would have been over in 4 games. The difference in quality is just too big here, even if the Magic were at full strength they still wouldn’t be a match for the defending champions. Boston controlled Game 4 pretty much from end to finish, never allowing the Magic to get comfortable on offense. The 19 points scored by Kristaps Porzingis was an encouraging sign after a slow start in the series, the big man is finally settling into his groove and when that’s the case not a lot of people can challenge the Celtics. We are not expecting any major changes for Game 5, the Celtics have executed their gameplan to perfection and when something it’s working you’d be foolish to switch things up. Closing out a team is never an easy task, so we do expect the Magic to play with a sense of urgency here. The oddsmakers have set the spread at 12.5 points for Game 5, that number was cleared in only the series opener by the Celtics while the other 3 games have all been within 9 points or less. Similarly to the Oklahoma City Thunder eliminating the Memphis Grizzlies, we expect this game to be somewhat close, so let’s back Orlando to cover, but Boston moves on.
