The Boston Celtics play host to the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference first round with a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. After Boston won the first two games at home, the team’s split two games in Orlando. The Celtics are coming off a 107-98 victory in Game 4 on Sunday.

“This was a big win on the road in a tough physical environment against a team that has been playing well, and a team that has been eager to take us out,” Brown said. … “We’ll get our rest, and we’ll rally the troops and get back to it back in Boston on our home floor.
Meanwhile, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are carrying the Magic’s offense in the series. Both players scored at least 23 points in each of the first four games. Banchero has at least 31 points in three of the four meetings.
“It’s do-or-die,” Wagner said. “It’s a great opportunity for us. We are going to get on that plane and have the right mentality coming into Boston and make sure we get Game 5.”
If the Magic win Game 5, the series would return to Orlando for Game 6 on Thursday. Orlando has won three of its four home games against Boston this season.
Per ESPN’s Basketball Power Index, the Celtics have a 76.2% chance of defeating Orlando in Game 5. The Magic are 0-5 in their last five matchups with the C’s in Boston, while the Celtics are 6-0 in their past six home games.
