🎯 Same Game Parlay (+412 Odds)
This three-leg parlay combines market value, matchup edges, and recent trends:
- Jayson Tatum Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (-145)
Tatum has hit 3+ threes in 8 of his last 10 games and averaged 3.5 per game this season. Against a Magic defense that ranks in the bottom third in defending wings beyond the arc, this is a strong anchor. - Paolo Banchero Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-145)
Banchero has quietly become a reliable perimeter threat, clearing this line in 7 of his last 10. In a game where the Magic are expected to trail, volume will be there. - Celtics -10.5 (-110)
Boston’s depth and playoff experience should allow them to control the pace and pull away late against a young Magic squad that lacks scoring consistency.
💥 Parlay Odds: +412
A $25 wager would return over $128 if all three legs hit.
🧾 Today’s Celtics vs. Magic Prediction
🏀 Final Score: Celtics 109, Magic 94
- Straight-Up Pick: Celtics
- Against the Spread: Celtics -10.5
- Total Points: Over 197.5
The Celtics’ defensive intensity and efficient offense, combined with Orlando’s playoff growing pains, suggest a double-digit win for Boston. Expect big games from the usual trio—Tatum, Brown, and White—while Banchero and Wagner will keep the Magic respectable, but not close enough to threaten a 1-1 series tie.
