LiontipsBoston Celtics - Orlando Magic: NBA match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Following the results of the regular NBA season, the Celtics took second place in the Eastern Conference. A similar result was expected from the reigning champion, as the club demonstrated good stability.
Boston was preparing for the start of the playoffs and showed class in the first match. Joe Mazzulla's team confidently dealt with Orlando (103:86). Before the break, the opponents were going smoothly, but the pause benefited the Celts, who increased their attack. Derrick White became one of the heroes of the confrontation, scoring 30 points. It is unlikely that the head coach will change anything, except that at the beginning of the match his team will need to be more attentive to the opponent.

Of course, it is difficult to count on a positive result in the match against the reigning champion and one of the leaders of the East.

1.90Tip and bets
Boston is ready to repeat its recent success. It is unlikely that the team will delay reaching the next stage of the playoffs, so now it is important to double the advantage. The Celtics will enter the floor again as the favorite, and it's hard to argue with that, especially since we'll see the optimal starting lineup.
Orlando felt the full power of his opponent and now he can only draw conclusions. At the beginning of the match, the team managed to fight, but then the defense began to sag. Magic players are well aware that the opponent will not slow down, so they will have to rely on counterattacks. Despite this, the guests have few chances to win.
Our betting tip is for Boston to win with a head start of (-9.5) points in 1.78
Bet on the total
Boston first let the opponent believe in their strength, and then sharply increased, paying attention to the defense. Orlando collapsed in the second half of the match, often making mistakes in attack. A similar scenario is expected in the second meeting of the series, so it is unlikely that the overall total will be broken.
Betting Tip - total less than 200.5 points for 1.65
Betting on statistics
No matter how hard Orlando's offensive line tried, it failed to break through the Celtics' defense. Magic will throw all their strength forward again, although there are doubts that the guests will be able to prove themselves under the opponent's ring.
Prediction – Orlando's individual total is less than 93.5 points in 1.90
