We are 2-0 taking these Boston first-half overs and we plan to remain undefeated. This number seems so intimidatingly high but once you hear the facts it doesn’t sound bad at all. The Celtics' offense is doing remarkable things this year, no doubt. In the first half, they are leading the NBA by 2+ points more than everyone else averaging 63.1 first-half points per game.
Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic Prediction
Furthermore, they are more dangerous at the Garden. At home, the Celtics average an incredible 66.5 first-half points and all we need is 62! Orlando is comparable in pace so it’s not like this is a paced-down spot for Jayson Tatum and the crew. Boston has already played the Magic this year in Orlando and they put up 68 first-half-points on their heads.
With the comeback of Robert Williams tonight in front of the home crowd, I’m expecting a great atmosphere for Boston to further their lead as the team with the best record and score many points along the way. This game projects to be a blowout but all we are focused on is that first-half team total and nothing after that matters to us at all. Let's roll!
