The Orlando Magic will look to stay competitive against the Boston Celtics in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series, despite being favored by 10.5 points. The main concern for the Magic is the status of superstar Jayson Tatum, who is doubtful due to a bone bruise on his wrist.
Tatum’s absence could be beneficial for the Magic, as they were able to stay within striking distance in Game 1. To capitalize on this, the author recommends taking Orlando +10.5 and Cory Joseph Over 1.5 Assists.
Joseph has been consistent with his assist numbers, cashing the prop in four consecutive games, and is expected to see an increase in minutes as the season continues. The author projects him for 3.7 assists tonight.
Additionally, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (KCP) has a strong track record in this area, having cashed the prop in eight of his last 10 games. KCP logged 35 minutes in Game 1 and is expected to see a similar volume tonight.
