The odds-maker is saying outside the home-court advantage this game is even. That might be true of a healthy Boston team, but not this one. KG is just getting back into the swing after a knee injury kept him on the sidelines, Leon Powe is out, as well as Tony Allen and Brian Scalabrine and a few others are playing hobbled. The Magic have won five straight at home and look at this as more important than Boston. They both have 18 losses and a Magic win gives them a leg up for home-court if they should meet in the playoffs. The Celtics are more interested in getting healthy and feel they can win on the road, I will go with Orlando here that views the stakes higher and are healthier.
