Boston Celtics at Orlando Magic NBA Playoffs Picks Review
The Orlando Magic were stunned by the defensive play of the Boston Celtics who removed the Magic’s two big weapons in Game 1: Dwight Howard and their 3-point shooting.
The Magic will be looking to even things up before the series shifts to Boston, but if they do they are going to have to make a number of adjustments.
The Celtics for their part are sitting pretty. They’ve got someone who can guard Orlando’s best player and they’ve got Orlando scrambling to adjust to their game.
The Magic are 6.5-point NBA playoff odds favorites and the over/under is 189.
Lucky Lester picks the Boston Celtics
These teams have played some close games and Boston is playing championship-caliber basketball again so take all 7.5 of that lofty point spread.
PredictEm picks the Boston Celtics
The Celtics will continue to frustrate Dwight Howard and, while the Magic will adjust and use other weapons, the Magic won’t be able to cover the spread in this matchup.
The Sports Geek picks the Boston Celtics
The Magic will have a bounce-back game tonight, but the Celtics are bringing it night-in night-out and this game will come down to the wire.
