Analysis
I'm on Boston minus the points. The Magic turned game-3 into a slugfest after trailing by 10 at the half - that was their main adjustment, and now it's Boston's move. The defending champs have been incredible off a loss this season, both SU & ATS and I expect an approach that'll be much more aggressive than the Celtics were in the loss. The Magic have been solid on defense this season but they lack a trustworthy attack on offense and I don't believe they'll keep up for the entire 48 minutes with what should be a ticked-off Boston team. The Celtics are too deep and too strong at both ends whether Jaylen Brown plays or not. By the way, I suspect Brown will play after listening to his fired-up speech following the loss. I'm on the Celtics minus the points. Thanks and best of luck! JB.
