The Boston Celtics have their hands full tonight facing an Orlando team that was humiliated in Boston 87-56 just three days ago. The Magic have been playing well for most of the season while Boston has really struggled, especially at the offensive end. The Celtics have not reached 90 points in 9 of 16 games on the season already. To put that in perspective they scored less than 90 for the ninth time in game No. 36 last season. The good news is that the defense remains solid as Boston has allowed just 84 points per game in their last 13. The Magic have been their equal over their last five games, allowing just 84.8 ppg. So with a focused effort vs. a struggling Boston offense, they should do even better than that here tonight. Boston has really struggled vs. very good home teams having gone 0-7 ATS in their last seven vs. a team with a home winning percentage of better than .600. Boston is also now 14-37 ATS in their last 51 following a 10+ point win as they can't play tough as consistently as in the past. The offense has been one of the reasons as they are also 51-25-1 to the UNDER following a 10+ point win. Orlando clamps down at home where they are 35-15-1 to the UNDER in their last 51, and these clubs have combined to play to a 19-7 UNDER mark in their last 26 meetings. Play Orlando and the UNDER.
