Orlando Magic at Boston Celtics Predictions & Tips

Orlando are tipped to cover as a double digit underog on the road.

The Magic's recent form has been underwhelming, but this Boston team has struggled massively for covers since the early part of November, especially when favoured by 10 points or more.

  • Boston Celtics have failed to cover in 13 of their last 19 games
  • The Celtics have failed to cover in 14 of their last 21 games as a double digit favourite
  • Orlando Magic have covered in 2 of their 3 games as a double digit underdog this season
  • These two teams are top 6 in the NBA in points allowed per game

Head To Head

  • Boston Celtics lead the all-time series 83-65
  • Orlando Magic won 108-104 when the two teams last met on December 23

Orlando Magic Form

Orlando head to Boston having struggled for consistency since Christmas, going 4-7 in their last 11 games.

The Magic’s underwhelming run began with defeats to Miami, 89-88, and New York, 108-85, and they then failed to build on a 102-101 win over Brooklyn as they lost 105-96 in Detroit.

They rebounded to beat Toronto 106-97 on the road, only to then return home for a 105-92 loss at home to Utah.

Orlando bounced back with a 103-94 victory in New York, but again failed to follow up a win as they returned home to lose 104-89 to Minnesota and 109-106 to Milwaukee.

The Magic avoided a third straight loss, beating Philadelphia 104-99, only to get blown out in Milwaukee, 122-93.

Boston Celtics Form

Boston return home looking to bounce back from their third defeat in their last five games.

The Celtics ended 2024 with a 125-71 demolition of Toronto at home, and backed that up with a couple of wins on the road.

They beat Minnesota 118-115, before moving on to Houston where they took down the Rockets, 109-86.

Boston missed out on a fourth straight win as they lost 105-92 at Oklahoma City, and they then failed to follow up a 118-106 win in Denver as they lost 114-97 to Sacramento.

The Celtics responded with a 120-119 victory against New Orleans, only to then lose 110-97 in Toronto.

Verdict

Orlando's form is underwhelming and Boston are the better team, but this is a lot of points.

The Celtics have not been a reliable spread bet this season, especially when favoured by 10 points or more, so give us the Magic and several free buckets.
