only 2 ways it goes in celtics magic game !!

[AC1318]

there is no in between no boston win but magic cover it is either or of the below

orlando straight up win

or

boston covers the 9

I'm not joking. so what do you say it will be.

both teams been playing well and have winning streaks

nelson is out for magic but I think that benefits them they are better without him IMO and as long as turk gets his minutes they do well.

boston came close to losing the other night vs. charlotte which isn't really surprising as they play close games all their history against one another.

[AC1318]

and before I hear and stupid talk I am pretty good at this posting SU winning games when confident. for instance yesterday alone was 3-0 SU blazers broncos 49ers.

I don't see them often but this could be one.

so don't waste your money taking the 9 in the game if you like orlando play the ML probably +450 if not more.

[AC1318]

I don't know who takes it though I am leaning boston -9

[roasthawg]

I'm on orlando +9.

[AC1318]

out of the last ten games

orlando beat dallas toronto are the only 2 worth mentioning but lost to rockets leaving them 9-1

boston beat toronto detroit are the only 2 worth mentioning but lost to denver leaving them 9-1

the rest of the teams they played are really not that good

[AC1318]

I say boston -9 for me.

[MoneySportsGuy]

Orlando ML for me

[Wilforth]

Orlando ML? Not a bad proposition but we'll see the "real" Celtics tonight.

[csimmalavong]

anyone think it stays in the middle of a teaser ?

boston -2.5 orl +14.5

[MoneySportsGuy]

could be

[cocknocker]

I don't really like this game that much, however here is my take on the 1st half:

1st half under 97
Orlando 1st half +5

The teams average only 89.2
46.5(Orlando)
42.7 (Boston)

So the advantages lie with The Magic +3.3 for the 1st half and 7.8 points for the total to go under.

Orlando is a notoriously fast starting team that fades in second halves. I say take advantage of that trend and take the points. As far as the total is concerned, Boston is a geat defensive team, and Orlando has a great shot blocker that makes up for their defensive shortcomings. A human eraser, if you will.
