Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic Bet Builder: Sunday, December 18th

Happy Sunday everyone! We have a decent 7-games slate, and as always, we will bet the “same-game parlay”!

In this article:


Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic Preview

Two days ago, we had a huge surprise when Orlando Magic won against the Boston Celtics on the road by 8 points, even though the Magic were 10.5 points underdog. We get the same matchup tonight, with one huge difference, Jayson Tatum is out. 

The Orlando Magic are on a winning streak! They had a poor start to the season, as they won only 5 out of the first 25 games, but they now won 5 in a row! All wins were against the good teams, as they won against the Raptors, Clippers, Hawks, and Celtics.

Celtics, on the other hand, had a fantastic start to the season(they won 21 out of the first 26 games). But they lost 3 out of the last 4, and their offence is starting to look stagnant for the first time this season(they had the best offensive rating ever during the first 26 games), and it will be interesting to see them tonight without their best player, Jayson Tatum.

With Tatum out, there is a ton of offensive load to take on the Celtics team, as Tatum usually takes 25+ offensive possessions.

Jaylen Brown will probably take the most of it, as he is their second scoring option behind Tatum, and even with Tatum playing in the last game, Brown came close to scoring 30 as he scored 26 points on 17 FGA, and I expect him to take 20+ FGA tonight. 

On the other side, we had Franz Wagner with 19 points even though he shot poorly(5/19). Wagner scored 18+ points in 13 out of the last 15 games with 27+ min, and he is expected to play 34+ minutes tonight. 

Banchero had 5 assists on a team-high 13 potential assists. He was guarded by Al Horford, a great defensive player, and had trouble scoring inside, so we saw a lot of “drive and kicks” from Paolo. He had 3 or more assists in 13 out of the last 15 games.

  • Jaylen Brown Over 29.5 Points
  • Franz Wagner Over 17.5 Points
  • Paolo Banchero Over 2.5 Assists

Bet Builder odds: 4.25 (+325) at BET365 and Fanduel

Odds as of 8:00 pm December 18th, 2022. Odds may now differ.
