Tip and bets
Boston and Orlando already had one head-to-head match in the current season. Celtics managed to beat the Magic (126:120) in October. Boston should be able to secure another victory over the Magic.
Our prediction - Boston: individual total over 119.5 points
Orlando already got too many victories in December. Some major players of the Magic are unavailable, so Florida team is unlikely to put up a fight to one of the leaders. Boston should be able to secure a home victory.
Our second bet - Handicap (-11.5) points on Boston
