Sport: NBAPick Selection: Bos Celtics
The Magic opened their recent four-game homestand by losing to the Hornets but bounced back with three straight wins, ending with an 80-77 win over the Heat on Saturday, a team that had beaten them eight straight times. Speaking of "EIGHT", the Magic have lost their last eight visits to Boston and last year, were 0-3 vs the Celtics, losing by an average of 15.3 PPG! Boston is surely no bargain, as except for superlative play of Paul Pierce (26.1-8.4-4.3) and the solid play of Ricky Davis (21.7), the team is very mediocre. However, the Magic are far from a polished unit themselves. With Hill still sidelined and the team coming off that HUGE win over Miami, I expect them to lose again in Boston. This is a great spot for the Celtics to get a comfortable win. 10* Eastern Conf Game of the Week 10* Bos Celtics.
