Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic Game 4 Prediction, Injury Report and Where to Watch | NBA Playoffs 2025

The Boston Celtics will be once again facing Orlando Magic for Game 4 of the opening round of the playoffs. The series has been getting quiet competitive between the two teams, with the Magic clinching one win to stretch the series even further. The First Round between the two teams so far has been rather interesting and one of the most physical matchups this postseason.

Entering Game 4, the Celtics seem to be the favorites progressing to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. In their 18 playoff appearances against each other, the teams have a 9-wins apiece record in their all-time playoff head-to-head record. In this article, we will dive deep into prediction and all the odds for the upcoming game between the two Eastern Conference teams this Sunday.

Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic Preview

The Boston Celtics narrowly avoided falling into a 0-3 hole by clinching Game 3 at home. Magic's German star Franz Wagner led the team with 32 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists to Orlando's 95-93 win against Boston.

On the other the Celtics just had Jayson Tatum return from a wrist injury which might have been a reason for them to falter on the floor. Alongside reigning Finals MVP Jaylen Brown, Tatum and him combined for 13 turnovers in that game.

In this game, we might expect Magic to build further from their strong Game 3 performance further. In the previous game, Orlando displayed staunch defensive effort and offensive prowess in the second half to conclude with a 95-93 victory. The Magic held the Celtics' three-point averages, allowing them to make just nine off their 29 attempts.

Boston Celtics vs Orlando Magic Prediction: Who Will Win?

After a Game 3 loss, the Boston Celtics might use this opportunity to clinch Game 4 in a big way. After their last loss, no team has been as good as the Celtics in making comebacks, with a 19-2 record. Furthermore, the Celtics have a 71% chance of beating the Magic in Game 4 of the playoffs. However, with the number of turnovers the Cs are accounting for, Orlando can still make this big moment count.

However, for the Magic, the team still needs to maintain it's staunch defense and continue holding back the Celtics like they did in Game 3. The Cs rely heavily on scoring threes but were held back to only 3/21 three-pointers in the previous matchups.
