Orlando Magic vs. Boston Celtics Prediction
This is such a simple bet but I love it. Celtics have won 10 straight 1st quarters. In that stretch, they have also played Orlando and dominated the opening quarter 30-19, and that game was even in Orlando.
The game being in Orlando is notable because Orlando has been stellar at home with an 11-2 record. Orlando is just 5-5 on the road, and now enters a loud and proud arena in the TD Garden. Boston is a perfect 12-0 at home, and despite potentially missing Porzingis and Brown, I like them to start hot.
Tatum, Holiday and White are all great players and should hold down the fort despite the team dealing with injuries. Orlando is a good team, but not as good as their record, and Boston is the deepest team in the league in my opinion. I like this bet because Boston could realistically lose this game outright but still win the opening quarter, let's hope they make it 11 straight. Let's roll!
