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 Celtics were dominant as expected in the regular season, and they went 29-6 in their last 35 games. Jayson Tatum appears headed to his fourth consecutive All-NBA First Team selection after scoring 26.

Boston is led by the star duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but also has several players capable of 30-plus-point outings like Derrick White and Kristaps Porziņģis. It's hard to argue that there is a team deeper than the Celtics this year.
