The Orlando Magic (16-8) and Boston Celtics (19-5) meet Sunday at the TD Garden. Tip-off is set for 3 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Magic vs. Celtics odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.
Season series: Tied 1-1
Orlando has lost 3 of its last 5 after a 128-111 loss to the Boston Celtics Friday, failing to cover as 5.5-point underdogs. Orlando struggled to find a stand-out scorer vs. Boston as the Magic saw 6 players score in double figures, but had nobody top 20 points.
Friday’s win in the 1st game of back-to-back contests extended Boston’s win streak to 4 and the Celtics are 7-1 in their last 8 overall. Boston was led by F Jayson Tatum‘s 30 points on 11-for-22 shooting.

Magic at Celtics picks and predictions
Prediction
Celtics 119, Magic 115
Moneyline
PASS.
I like Boston to win here, but the Celtics are not worth the risk of betting on as a -320 favorite. Bet on the spread and/or total here.
Against the spread
LEAN MAGIC +8.5 (-110).
Orlando is 2-1 ATS in its last 3 overall and 5-1 ATS in its last 6 matchups with Boston. The Magic are also 17-7 ATS on the season while the Celtics are only 11-11-2 ATS this year.
This is only a lean because the Celtics have been very good ATS as of late and because the Magic have struggled ATS in road games recently.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 227.5 (-110).
The Over is 6-2 in Orlando’s last 8 overall and is 3-1 in Boston’s last 4 overall. The Over also hit in the last Orlando-Boston matchup and is 3-1 in the last 4 of such matchups with Boston as the home team.
This is a risky bet as both Orlando and Boston are very good defensively and Boston is much better offensively than Orlando, meaning Boston will likely have to carry this game to hit the Over number of 227.5.
