Celtics vs. Magic: Free live stream, TV, how to watch
The Boston Celtics will seek their third straight win to open the season when they take on the Orlando Magic on Saturday night at the Amway Arena. The Celtics pull off an impressive away win over the Miami Heat in a repeat of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday night. They will be without Al Horford in the matchup against Orlando after the big man suffered a late-stage scratch due to lower back pain. Without him, big men like Noah Vonleh, Blake Griffin and Luke Kornet should see expanded roles against Orlando. The Magic are still looking for their first win of the year after losing close contests to the Pistons and Hawks earlier in the year. It will be the first look at No. 1 overall Paolo Banchero, who has impressed early on in his first two games for the Magic. The top pick, however, will have a tall order to try and slow Boston’s offensive attack, with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown both averaging over 30 points per game in Boston’s first two wins of the year.
