The winner of tonight’s game takes the season series and a big step toward securing the Eastern Conference’s second seed behind the Cavaliers.

Orlando enters the meeting a game behind Boston for second in the East.

The 3.5-point favored Magic can clinch their second straight Southeast Division title with a win. However, that is merely a formality; their eyes are fixed on Boston, Cleveland and the standings.

A win at Orlando could give the Celtics the cushion they need and allow them to limit playing time in the final weeks. They know they can win anywhere, they just need to be healthy.

The Celtics hold a 2-1 edge in the season series, but the Magic won the most recent meeting 86-79 in Boston on March 8. Get all your NBA basketball picks in the Bodog Sportsbook before the big game.
