2010 NBA Playoffs: Magic vs Celtics Game 3 Odds & Picks: The Magic and Celtics return to action tonight as the two teams square off in a game three battle at the TD Garden in Boston. Tip off is scheduled for 8:30pm ET on ESPN. 2010 NBA Playoffs Game 3 Odds & Picks at online bookmaker SPORTSBETTING.com have the Celtics listed as a -3 against the spread home favorite. Tonight's game total is set at 190.
Boston won its fifth straight playoff game and took a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday night with
a 95-92 victory at the Amway Arena in Orlando. The Celtics did not put on a scintillating offensive display, hitting a respectable 46 percent from the field and sub-par 33 percent from beyond the arc; however, Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce provided enough firepower to compliment the team's outstanding defensive effort.
Rondo scored 25 points to go along with five rebounds and eight assists while Pierce dropped in a team high 28 points on 8-of-16 shooting.
Boston completely shut down Orlando's offense, holding the Magic to 39 percent field goal shooting and 7-of-18 from three point range. Dwight Howard had 30 points and eight rebounds, but Vince Carter and J.J. Redick were the only other Magic players to score in double figures as they each had 16 points.
While Boston does have a 2-0 lead and all the momentum heading into this evening's game, Orlando has not exactly struggled at the Garden of late. The Magic have won three in a row and five of their last seven at the Arena.
2010 NBA Playoffs Betting Trend: The Magic are 7-3 straight up and 8-2 against the spread in their last 10 games as a road dog with a total between 185 and 190 (Over is 7-3 in those games).
