Boston Celtics vs. Orlando Magic Tournament GAMEDAY Preview: How to Watch, Betting Odds, Injury Report
The Orlando Magic finishes out its In-Season Tournament schedule as it hosts the Boston Celtics for a Black Friday matinee.
Coming into the game, the Magic is 2-1, while the Celtics are still unbeaten with a 2-0 record. A Boston win would clinch East Group C for the Celtics, but an Orlando win could make things sticky.
If the Magic wins, Orlando would become the first Group C team with three wins, giving it the inside path towards winning the group. If Orlando wins Friday, it will sit and wait on Tuesday to watch the results from the other two Group C games, which will ultimately determine who wins the group.
A Celtics win would get Boston to 3-0 and give them the inside path towards clinching a spot in the knockout round, so there are high stakes for the team at No. 1 in the Eastern Conference.
