After Cleveland fell at Chicago last night, the Celtics pulled to the front of the Eastern Conference standings even if they lost to Miami most recently by a three-ball in Beantown.

Orlando Magic at Boston Celtics Prediction
The assumption here is that Orlando will win and do so convincingly be that they need this game more Orlando doe for obvious reasons. While we cannot see how Orlando pulls off a victory here, there is likely a hidden fee to back Boston in this market. The Celtics are the best team in the East at the moment, they are at home and they are playing a team that is likely in ‘tank mode’ like a few other clubs across the league. In said situations, takers can expect to spot a lofty number if they wish to back a team like Boston. With this being said over the span of Orlando’s last six outings they are 3-3 SU in which of two of those games required overtime. The Magic lost by no more than seven points in one of these six aforementioned affairs. Most recently, the Magic took the Oklahoma City Thunder to overtime before they fell. The number here offers plenty of wiggle room for any Magic taker and given the fact the propensity for Boston to be overvalued is ever present, we will gladly step in.
Free Pick:
Take Orlando +11
