Our expert breaks down the betting odds for the first-round NBA Playoffs series between the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic, including a series prediction and recommendations for the best bets to make.

The No. 2-seeded Boston Celtics will face the No. 7-seeded Orlando Magic in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs.
