In their last three games, Orlando has averaged 119 points per game, demonstrating a potent offense that can compete with any team in the league. Their shooting efficiency has been impressive, with field goal percentages hovering around 50 percent and three-point shooting at a respectable rate. The team's ability to share the ball is evident from their assists numbers, suggesting a cohesive unit on offense.


However, defense remains an area of concern for Orlando. In these past games, they've allowed an average of over 120 points against them. This defensive vulnerability could be exploited by a strong Celtics side known for its balanced attack.


The Magic's bench has been contributing significantly as well; in two out of three recent matches, they've scored over 40 points from non-starters. This depth will be crucial against Boston's formidable lineup.


Playing at home should give Orlando an edge—their fans are known for creating an electrifying atmosphere at the Amway Center that often energizes the players. With this support behind them and recent trends indicating offensive firepower and bench strength, there is potential for an exciting contest.


The upcoming game is scheduled for January 24th at Amway Center in Orlando. Fans can catch all the action on BSFL network channel 654 or follow along with updates on NBCS-BOS channel 630 if they're cheering from away territory.
