Celtics This Season

The Celtics are the second seed in the Eastern Conference with a 55-26 record in 81 games.

They have won eight out of their last ten games (and are 29-11 at home).

Bobby Manning of Celtics on CLNS wrote: “#Celtics’ playoff probabilities: Magic 51.2% 76ers 42.2% Raptors 6.6%

Only Raptors scenarios: ORL win vs. BOS AND TOR loss vs. BKN – Raptors/Sixers play in game.

ORL loss vs. BOS, TOR loss vs. BKN AND PHI win vs. MIL.

Every other scenario results in Magic/Sixers.”

The Celtics won the title in 2024 (and have been to the NBA Finals twice since 2022).

That said, they lost to the New York Knicks in the second round of the 2025 playoffs.

Celtics Stats wrote (after Friday’s game): “The Celtics tied an NBA record with 29 3-pointers tonight against New Orleans.

They have now reached that mark twice (10/22/24 vs NYK).”

Orlando Right Now

The Magic are the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference with a 45-36 record in 81 games.

They are coming off a 127-103 win over the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.

Currently, the Magic are in the middle of a five-game winning streak (and 19-19 on the road).

Last season, they lost to the Celtics in the first round of the 2025 playoffs (in five games).

The franchise last made the NBA playoffs during the 2009 season when Dwight Howard was still on their roster.
