Orlando was embarrassed at home by the Bulls 105-83 on Friday, which snapped a two-game winning streak. Evan Fournier led the Magic with 21 points, but his team shot only 40.7 percent, and had only five free-throw attempts. The Magic may have been looking ahead to this game as it tries to end Boston's seven-game winning streak. The Celtics come off a big win at Oklahoma City, but they are just 1-5 ATS their last six meetings at Orlando, and the Magic is 5-0 ATS its last five games following an ATS loss. Also, Orlando has covered five of its last six after giving up at least 100 points its previous game. The home team is 18-7-1 the last 26 meetings and Orlando is averaging 111.3 points this season, which makes Friday's game an anomaly. Play the Magic.
