Celtics vs. Magic Prediction

The Celtics have been on fire of late. Their victory over the Raptors was close, but considering star forward Jayson Tatum's absence and injuries to other key players during the game, their output remains impressive. The Boston outfit are currently the No.2 scoring unit in the NBA behind the Sacramento Kings. They're also No.1 in regards to assists-to-turnovers.

The Magic, meanwhile, have picked up two wins this season over none other than the Celtics. Interestingly, both wins came in Boston. Beyond their impressive Boston wins, though, the Orlando outfit have floundered due to injuries and hit-and-miss team cohesion. Overall, considering the Celtics' superior all-round work and momentum, they should finally be able to get some payback against the Magic tonight and beat them in their home base.

Prediction: Celtics -7.5 (-110)
