In a back-to-back series, the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics are set to lock horns at the Kia Center in an NBA clash. The Magic are in ninth place in the Eastern Conference table, while the Celtics are in 11th place. Here's our match prediction. 

The Orlando Magic are in high spirits as they enter the second night of a back-to-back against the Celtics. Against the same opponent in the NBA Cup group stage play, they managed to come out on top in a 123-110 home victory.

It was a terrific performance from them, especially when it came to their offense. The home team shot an impressive 50% from the field and 47.22% from the three-point range (3PT%). Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane combined for 49 points.

The Magic have now won three of their last five matches. This has to be considered as a significant improvement for a side that was on a four-game skid.

Indeed, the Boston Celtics slumped to defeat in the NBA Cup group stage play - Eastern Conference Group B competition - against the Magic. They are out to exact revenge for that setback.

Their performance has been less than satisfactory as they have lost three of their last four matches. This comes after a three-match winning streak to make up for their poor start to the season, which saw them drop three games.
