Boston took a 2-0 series lead with a 109-100 win in Game 2, even though the Celtics were without top scorer Jayson Tatum, who is out with a right wrist bone bruise. He is listed as day-to-day, but the Celtics still are the far superior team, and they have won 16 of 18 overall and nine of 10 on the road. Boston is 7-1 UNDER following an ATS loss and 15-5 UNDER against the Southeast Division. Seven of the past 10 meetings have stayed UNDER, and Orlando has gone UNDER five of six home games. Boston has held opponents to just 92.4 points in its past five games. Orlando has averaged just 48 first-half points in the series' first two games. The Magic has been primarily a two-man show, with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner scoring most of the time. Take the Celtics and the first half and game to stay UNDER.
