Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics predicted starting lineups and depth charts for Game 1 (April 20) | 2025 NBA Playoffs

The Boston Celtics will host the Orlando Magic on Sunday for the opening matchup of the Eastern Conference’s first-round series at TD Garden. While the Celtics finished the regular season as the second seed, Paolo Banchero and Co. had to participate in an extra game, a 7-8 play-in game against the Atlanta Hawks, to earn their spot in the playoffs.

Many favor the Celtics to win the series and get one step closer to defending their title. But getting past the Magic will not be a walk in the park.

During the regular season, both teams faced off against each other on three occasions. The South Florida team proved to be a formidable challenge during the regular season, winning two of three games against the Celtics.

In fact, Orlando is merely one of three teams in the Eastern Conference to clinch a regular-season series against Jayson Tatum and Co.
