Where to watch today’s Orlando Magic vs Boston Celtics NBA Game: Livestream, TV channels and start time
The Boston Celtics (4-5) and Orlando Magic (3-5) tip off a two-game series on Friday, beginning with an NBA Cup group stage showdown.
Boston is looking to find some consistency after a rocky stretch, having dropped three of their last four outings. The Celtics managed to halt a brief skid on Wednesday with a dominant 136-107 victory over the Washington Wizards, showing flashes of the offensive rhythm that has defined them in past seasons. They’ll aim to carry that momentum forward before squaring off with the Philadelphia 76ers in their next matchup.
Meanwhile, Orlando has had a mixed run of form as well. The Magic took down the Celtics earlier, stumbled against the Hawks, and now turn their attention to the Trail Blazers after this series. Despite a 127-112 defeat to Atlanta on Tuesday that snapped a two-game win streak, the Magic have still won 13 of their last 21 regular-season contests, proving they can hang with just about anyone when they’re locked in.
