Boston is indeed a very good team, but since last season's gathering of the Big Three in Beantown, Orlando has held its own against the Celtics, winning two of the past three games outright and seven of its last ten. In that span, they've done respectably well against the spread (ATS) going 6-4. Boston is also pretty good ATS at home..
However, the Magic have a slight edge in both offensive and defensive rebounding as well as in scoring and three-point shooting. Both teams are hot of late, and I've got the Celtics winning the game, but by only about two-to-four points. So I think that the Magic should easily stay within the 8.5 points. Then again, my mediocre record speaks volumes... Good luck to you as well!

Good points - my thinking is the bench strength of C's will be the diff in the score....+ Boston looked flat Sat vs Cats and usually come back strong after a weak showing...not to mention more motivation vs a very good Magic team - all in all should be a great game!!

True that; the bench strength on the Celtics is indeed formidable.
Hopefully, for Orlando and it's backers, we'll see if Dwight Howard can stay out of foul trouble and in the game to keep Boston's shooters outside the paint for harder fought points. Should be a good entertaining game for sure!

Be careful boys as I'm only giving my opinion....I've really been el stinko the last few days and I'm takin a week or at least a few days off...1st time I've laid off for more than a day or 2 in my 25+ yrs of sports gambling...so with that said and I'm sure the "Sports Gods" are listening; Boston will prob hit since I'm not layin any jack on it....we all know how that works
