The pros at FiveStarPick.com are looking forward to cashing another big ticket in the Boston Celtics – Orlando Magic series.  Tonight is Game 2 and the oddsmakers have once again set the line incorrectly, but that’s where we come in.  The Magic are listed as 6.5-point home favorites with a total of 189 and this line is DEAD WRONG.

Boston’s defensive “Big Three” stuck with Orlando’s 3-point shooters in Game 1 and it worked, as the Magic shot just 22% from behind the arc.  If Orlando can’t make their threes, they can’t win tonight. The Magic offense in general wasn’t great in Game 1, but the Celtics’ offensive attack wasn’t much better in the win. Both teams, however, played great defense… holding each other under 100 points.

The last time Orlando lost back-to-back home games during the regular season was January 15th, when the club went 1-3 on a West Coast road trip. Boston was 30-17 SU and 24-22 Against the Spread on the road this year, which includes going 4-2 both SU and Against The Spread in the playoffs.  Both Celtic losses against the Heat and Cavaliers came in the final minutes.

Those playing the Total saw Game 1’s combined 180 points stay ‘under’ for the fourth time in the five meetings between these two teams.  Game 2 is at 8:30 p.m. EDT on ESPN.
