Kristaps Porzingis got to the free-throw line 14 times in Game 2 en route to scoring 20 points. Aside from that, Porzingis has taken a back seat offensively to Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. We have a low total of 199.5 and a slow-paced rock fight is expected.
Have the Magic gotten under the skin of the Celtics, who are talking now of fighting in response to several supposed hard fouls committed by the Magic? This series has been mostly a slog...just the way Orlando likes it. The Magic won the regular-season series against Boston 2-1, holding the Celtics to their fewest points per game and lowest 3-point accuracy of any Eastern team. Moreover, the Celtics, who led the NBA with almost 18 triples pg, have averaged just 10.7 against the Magic, their fewest versus any foe. Remember, too, Orlando led the NBA in scoring defense (105.5 PPG), while their length and switching defense have made this an uncomfortable matchup for Boston. Note unders 18-8 in the playoffs into today. Play Celtics-Magic Under

The Celtics need to keep the Magic from getting designs of an upset here, and this is where your best players step up. Tatum is their closer, he's made more time to get his hand treated and the Magic, as stout as they are defensively, had no answers for him in Game 3 despite most of the rest of the Celtics failing to show up in the second half of that game. He hasn't played consecutive games since April 2-4, resting down the stretch and then dealing with the hand injury. He's got his legs under him now and I expect to see him in assassin mode here with a chance to take a 3-1 series lead. Also allowing him to get his stroke going.
