Boston Celtics will face an early test in a repeat bid to defend the NBA Championship when they host Orlando Magic in a seven-game series. The defending champions will hit the hardwood at the TD Garden in Game 2 on Wednesday night as they look to take a commanding lead in this series. Boston will want to put up a solid show against Orlando after playing second fiddle to the Cavaliers throughout the regular season. They are arguably the deepest team in the East, and it will be unsurprising if they retain the title.
Orlando Magic, meanwhile, knows the task that lies ahead of them. They started the season well, with Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero driving a hot start for them. The Magic will enter the postseason with the best defensive record, averaging 105.5 opponent points in the 2025 regular season campaign. Interestingly, they’ll be facing the no. 2 defense in the league, with Boston averaging 107.2 opponent points this term. This series could be decided by attacking talent.

Our Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic Prediction
Both teams come into this game with a sizzling hot form. The Celtics completed the 2025 regular season with a two-game winning streak despite bagging the No. 2 seed in the East.
However, the Magic look hungrier than ever, winning six of their last seven matches. Orlando also has a 6-1 record in their previous seven matches. However, Boston’s attacking talent, led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, should give them an edge. Derrick White is an experienced veteran with talent to match. We're expecting another big night from the Boston point guard. Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic: Derrick White to score 20+.
