Boston at Orlando

The Magic have it out for the Celtics after Boston eliminated them in five games in a first-round playoff series last April. Orlando's intensity was on full display this past Friday when it beat the Celtics, 123-110. It was the third time in their last four games, the Magic held the opposition to 110 or fewer points. Up to that point, Orlando's defense had been disappointing. But now the Magic are up to ninth in the league in defensive efficiency. The Celtics, of course, are not the same team without Jayson Tatum, who is out indefinitely with a torn Achilles' tendon. The Celtics may have short revenge motivation, but the talent isn't there without Tatum. This is really starting to show in the last four games as Boston's only victory and cover during this span was against the 1-9 Wizards. Just three games ago, the Celtics lost as 10.5-point home favorites against the lonely Jazz. Take the Magic.
