Magic at Celtics
(NBA) Magic (ORL) vs. Celtics (BOS),
Point Spread: 14.50 | -108.00 Magic (ORL) (Away)
Result: Loss
The Magic never recovered from its slow start on Wednesday at Milwaukee, down 18 after the 1st Q and never in a game they lost 122-93. Recently-activated Paolo Banchero was only on the floor for 26 minutes, though his 22 points suggests he is fully operation. Granted, the Wagners and Jalen Suggs remain out, but Jamahl Mosley has been working around injuries all season. Not losing contact early should also allow Mosley to control the pace a bit better tonight, even against the Celtics, who were not able to take advantage of no Banchero or the Wagners in a 108-104 loss at Kia Center back on December 23. Boston has also looked very flat and tired the past week, losing big at home to Sacto and at lowly Toronto, while barely escaping the struggling Pelicans at home. Play Magic
