Orlando Magic -5
This is the 2nd of 4 games this year between the Celtics and Magic. On December 1st, Boston held Orlando to 5-of-26 on 3 point attempts & won in a 107-88 rout. This is significant because Orlando leads the league not only in 3-point percentage, but also in 3-pointers made this season. Orlando didn't have Nelson that night because of injury but he's playing in tonight's game. In fact, Nelson says, "We match up well...We're coming into the game full-strength for the most part. It'll be a good game."Orlando has won seven straight games; they are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games; Orlando is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games when playing at home against Boston. They are home following their successful road trip, where they won games vs all three division leaders in the Western Conference. Boston, however, is 4-7 ATS in their last 11 road games, and with "no-rest" is 1-4 ATS in L5 and 3-7 ATS L10. Moreover, in the L27 matchups of these clubs, the home team is 21-6 ATS. I really think we see a VERY motivated and energized team & crowd tonight, as Orlando will be looking for blood, to get back for that embarrasing beatdown they suffered AT Boston back on December 1st.
UNDER 192
For Boston, the under is on runs of 22-7 on the road, 11-4 overall, 10-3 as a ‘dog, 10-2 as a road ‘dog and 5-1 on the second night of a back-to-back. Orlando is on “under” streaks of 7-1 as a home favorite, 7-0 on Thursday, 4-1 at home and 41-19-1 as a home favorite of five to 10 ½-points. In this rivalry, the under is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Orlando.
Good luck to everyone tonight!!
