Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics Prediction: The Celtics are already superior to the Magi

Prediction for the Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics match will occur on December 24. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Magic has lost two of their best players - Paolo Banquero and Franz Wagner - to injury, which is why they've been struggling lately. On the eve of their last meeting with Miami, Jamal Mosley's side was on a three-game losing streak. First, they lost 109:114 on the road to Milwaukee, followed by 91:100 at home to New York and 99:105 to Oklahoma.

However, in the game against the Heat, Orlando broke this losing streak. The Magic showed they are a systematic team and not dependent on their leaders—121:114. Cole Anthony was the most productive player for Orlando—35 points + 9 assists.

The Celtics have played Chicago in their last two meetings. In the first meeting at Boston's home TD Garden, Joe Mazzulla's side suffered a shock 108:117 defeat, their sixth of the season. Boston avenged their 123:98 loss to the Bulls in the second game on the road. Jayson Tatum recorded a triple-double with 43 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists.

The reigning NBA champions have won 22 of their last 28 games. Only Cleveland is higher in the Eastern Conference standings, 2.5 wins ahead of the Celtics.

Orlando may have broken their losing streak, but Jamal Mosley's side will find winning two in a row difficult. The Celtics are already superior to the Magic in all respects, and they do not have the same problems with their lineup as Orlando. We are backing the Celts to win, and we also believe that their rivals will be unable to break the total. The Magic has one of the best defensive records of the season, but the absence of Banquero and Franz Wagner has made it harder for the Florida outfit to make an impact in attack.
