Why The Magic Could Cover The Spread

Orlando is one of the better defensive teams in the NBA, and it has shown. In their win against the Celtics this season, they allowed just 96 points. The Magic may not need to hold the Celtics to under 100, which is an unrealistic expectation, but the they do need to play much better than they did Friday. Orlando does not normally allow teams to shoot as good as the Celtics did Friday, so that game could have been more luck than anything. However, if the Magic do not lock in on defense for this game, they will be blown out again.

Why The Celtics Could Cover The Spread

The Celtics, as mentioned, are the best team in the NBA right now. They are not going to be easy to beat, especially when playing in Boston. The Celtics are 13-0 at home this season, and that includes the 17-point blowout of the Magic on Friday. As long as Boston keep playing as they have at home this season, they will cover the spread.

The Celtics are also a very good team on the defensive side of the court. They hold teams to just 109.0 points per game, good for third-best in the NBA. Boston also holds teams to the fourth-lowest shooting percentage. The Magic are not a team that score very well as they rely on their defense. The Celtics have played well against the Magic in both game this season, as well. If Boston can keep that up, they will cover the spread.

Final Magic-Celtics Prediction & Pick

This game is expected to be a bit lopsided. However, I would not be surprised to see the Magic keep this one close. As nine-point favorites, it is tough to bet the Celtics in this game. I am going to trust my gut, and trust the Magic to keept his game within 10 points. I will take Orlando to cover the spread.

Final Magic-Celtics Prediction & Pick: Magic +9 (-112), Under 228.5 (-110)
