TV: TNT / Max

Previous Games:

  • Celtics: Lost Game 3, 95-93, after a cold shooting night (33% from three)

  • Magic: Won Game 3, outscoring Boston 24-11 in the third quarter

Head-to-Head:

Boston leads the series 2-1. After a low-scoring battle in Game 3, expect both offenses to be much sharper tonight — especially with Boston known for explosive bounce-back games following playoff losses.

Boston Celtics Breakdown:

Boston’s offense, which averaged 116.3 points per game during the regular season, struggled with turnovers and missed threes in Game 3. However, history suggests a quick correction. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are unlikely to have back-to-back inefficient nights, and Derrick White’s playmaking should keep the pace faster tonight.

Key Players:

  • Jayson Tatum: 36 points, 9 rebounds

  • Jaylen Brown: 19 points, solid shooting

  • Derrick White: 16 points, 5 assists

Orlando Magic Breakdown:

The Magic have shown they can keep up offensively, led by Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero combining for over 60 points in Game 3. At home, Orlando should continue attacking aggressively, leading to more free throws and possessions that push the pace beyond what we saw last time.

Key Players:

  • Franz Wagner: 32 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds

  • Paolo Banchero: 29 points, 6 rebounds

Betting Trends:

Boston Celtics:

  • 7 of their last 10 road games have gone over 197.5

  • 16 of their last 20 road games have gone over 197.5

Orlando Magic:

  • 7 of their last 10 overall have gone over 197.5

  • 15 of their last 20 games have gone over 197.5

Exact Score Prediction:

Boston Celtics 107 – Orlando Magic 99

Our Best Bet:

Over 195.5 (-110)

Both teams should deliver much better offensive performances after a low-scoring Game 3. Boston’s history of quick offensive rebounds after a loss, combined with Orlando’s home scoring boost, points to this game clearing the number.
