Magic-Celtics Line

The Magic-Celtics line has not moved off the -3 at any of the online sportsbooks.  Early action had around 75 percent of those betting the spread on Boston and 65 percent of the money line action on the Celtics as well.  192.5 was the total with just over 80 percent of the backing on the OVER. 

Orlando comes into this game having won 8 of their last 10.  They are still 3 games behind Miami in the Southeast Division with a 26-14 record, however, vast improvement has been realized in recent weeks.  The Magic have won their last three visits to Boston in the regular season.  They are in the midst of a 5-game road trip. 

Boston has only 9 losses on the season and has won 6 of its last 10.  Kevin Garnett is likely to return after missing nine games due to injury. 

Trending suggests that Orlando might have a tough time in this game.
