You know folks, the Orlando Magic, during the regular season, possessed the NBA's No. 1 defense, yielding just 106.9 points per game. And, believe it or not, they did a good job against the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of this series. They held Boston to almost 15 points less than their season average. The Magic defense held the Celtics stars, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to a combined 33 points. They did a good job. But the supporting cast stepped up big at home for Boston. The problem Orlando encountered, was on offense. Yes, I am aware they offense leaves a lot to be desired, ranking 28th in the league, and averaging just 106.7 PPG. But outside of the stars, Paulo Banchero and Franz Wagner, who by the way combined for 39 points, not another player accounted for more than seven points. That is just laughable. I believe they'll get more of an effort from their bench, while their defense continues to shine. Without question my friends, Boston is a better team. But laying this many points in a Game 2 situation, in which the visitor lost game once so poorly, I have to look to take the underdog here. Take Orlando, and take her bookmaker’s money. Thank you.
