Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic Pick – 4/9/2025

The Boston Celtics (59-20) face off against the Orlando Magic (39-40) on April 9, 2025, in a pivotal matchup at the Kia Center. Scheduled for a 7:00 PM ET tip-off, this game marks a challenging back-to-back for both teams, having played the night before. The Celtics are coming off a narrow 119-117 victory over the New York Knicks, while the Magic edged out the Atlanta Hawks 119-112 in their last outing.

Despite their impressive record, the Celtics may struggle due to fatigue from playing consecutive games. Historically, back-to-back situations can take a toll on player performance and energy levels, potentially impacting their chances on the road. However, the Celtics have been strong away from Boston, winning 33 of their last 40 road games.

The Magic enter this contest as favorites, riding a three-game winning streak. With the current spread at Magic -4.5, oddsmakers have set the implied win probability at 63% for Orlando compared to 37% for Boston. The Magic's solid home performance could give them the edge they need to extend their streak.

For bettors looking at player props, Paolo Banchero's Points, Rebounds, and Assists market has garnered attention, with the total moving from Under 42.5 to Under 41.5. Sharp bettors seem to be leaning towards the Under, indicating a potentially lower-scoring output.
