Current Records: Boston 2-0; Orlando 0-2

What to Know

The Orlando Magic will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They and the Boston Celtics will face off at 7 p.m. ET Oct. 22 at Amway Center without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Orlando hasn't won a matchup against Boston since April 7 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought Saturday.

The Magic came up short against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, falling 108-98. Despite the defeat, Orlando got a solid performance out of Cole Anthony, who had 25 points.

Meanwhile, Boston was able to grind out a solid victory over the Miami Heat on Friday, winning 111-104. Boston relied on the efforts of small forward Jayson Tatum, who had 29 points along with five rebounds, and shooting guard Jaylen Brown, who had 28 points.

Orlando is expected to lose this next one by 7. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 0-2 ATS when expected to lose.

Boston's win lifted them to 2-0 while Orlando's loss dropped them down to 0-2. We'll see if the Celtics can repeat their recent success or if the Magic bounce back and reverse their fortune.
