The Boston Celtics are back in the NBA playoffs and will try to defend their title in 2025. Up first for the reigning champs is a first-round series against the Orlando Magic and Boston took care of business at home in Games 1 and 2.

The Boston Celtics will face the Orlando Magic in the first round of the NBA playoffs, after the Magic beat the Atlanta Hawks in the play-in tournament Tuesday night to claim the 7-seed in the Eastern Conference. Game 1 of the Celtic-Magic series will be Sunday at TD Garden.

Fresh of the back of securing a vital victory in Orlando, the Boston Celtic will return to home court on Wednesday with confidence as they continue their title defence. The Celtics boast the firepower and experience needed to get the job done and we predict they will make the most of their home advantage to send the Orlando packing.
