Magic vs Celtics Prediction
The Magic are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, I guess, but they’re also a team that’s 3-7 SU and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Magic haven’t played well enough to be favored against even decent teams. The Celtics have shown flashes in terms of turning things around, and they’ve won 7 of the last 10 games against the Magic. It would shock nobody if the Magic lost this game outright. Give me the bucket with the Celtics.
