The Orlando Magic will host defending NBA champions, Boston Celtics on Wednesday, April 9 at the Kia Center. It will be Celtics' third last game of the regular season. In the last ten matches, they have a record of 9-1. All eyes would be on star players Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis, whether they will feature against Magic or not.
Will Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis play against Orlando Magic?
The Celtics will take on Magic and play Charlotte Hornets twice before ending their regular season. If they win one more match out of their three remaining, they will end up with 60+ wins. So far in this season, the Celtics have played against Magic twice as both the teams have one-one win to their names.
The match on Wednesday will be a tie-breaker between them as both the sides will be eyeing a win. The Boston Celtics still haven't submitted their injury report against Magic, but it's highly unlikely that they would make any changes.
Al Horford was the only player who missed Celtics' clash on Tuesday against New York Knicks. It seems that he will again miss the match against the Magic as Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis are expected to suit up.
Both the players have a great record against the Magic. Brown has played a total of 25 games against the Magic as he averages 21.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. The 28-year-old shooting guard played both the games against the Magic this season as he averages 27.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists.
On the other hand, Porzingis has played 18 games against the Magic. In those 18 games, he is averaging 18.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. Along with both these players and Jayson Tatum in the lineup, the Celtics will have more than enough firepower in their offense.
The Boston Celtics are firmly placed at second spot in the Eastern Conference with a record of 59-20 and are on a three game winning streak. The Orlando Magic currently find themselves seventh in the Eastern Conference with a record of 39-40 and are on a three game winning streak.
