Randy’s Pick
The Celtics are the better team obviously and them comfortably winning this game would surprise nobody. However, the Magic has been the biggest surprise up to this point, and they keep making us money. The Magic have won 5 straight games, and they’re 12-3 ATS on the season. The Magic are stacking the cash for the bettors right now. Also, the Magic has won 3 straight against the Celtics, for whatever that’s worth. I’ll keep backing teams that make us money. Give me the Magic and the free buckets.
