Celtics vs. Magic Preview: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury Report

The Orlando Magic returns to the friendly confines of the Amway Center after two difficult road losses. Awaiting them is the defending Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics.

ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic (0-2) is on the second half of a back-to-back hosting the Boston Celtics (2-0) Saturday night at the Amway Center.

The Magic was dealt a difficult hand facing the Atlanta Hawks and Celtics on consecutive nights, and Boston isn't expected to make it easy for Orlando.

The Magic will be tasked with containing the dynamic duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who have picked up where they left off from the previous postseason. The Magic will counter with a powerful pair of their own with Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero, who will get his first crack at his Duke brother.

The Magic lost Jalen Suggs last night after spraining his ankle, so Cole Anthony will likely take his place in the starting lineup.
