Monday’s NBA Prediction
BOSTON, MA (TheSpread) – Two of the best in the East renew their rivalry on Monday night as the Boston Celtics host the Orlando Magic. Here is breakdown of my pick for this game.
Boston is 30-9 on the season and 18-3 at home. The Celtics have won their last two games. Orlando is 26-14 on the season and 11-9 on the road. The Magic have won 8 of their last 10 games.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook Sportsbook.com have released their odds for this game and they have made the Celtics a 3-point favorite against the Magic. The over/under total has been set at 192.5 points. Here are some trends to consider and my pick for tonight’s game:
Orlando Magic vs. Boston Celtics, 8PM ET (View Matchup)
Trends show that the home team has covered in 4 of the last 5 games played in this series while Boston is 10-2 against the spread in their last 12 games playing on two days of rest and Orlando is just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. My pick is with Boston in this game as they seem to rise up in the big games, especially at home. Orlando has a new look, but this game means something to Boston to prove they still are the best in the East.
