There’s little current tape that the Celtics and Magic can go to gameplan for the first round series starting on Sunday. The only game that might reveal anything worth clipping would be Boston’s blowout win, despite Franz Wagner missing the game and Boston’s top-9 all being available. Even though Orlando was without their second-leading scorer, that January game could however give us a hint with how Boston might defend the Magic’s #1 option, Paulo Banchero.
In his third season, Banchero turned in an All-NBA worthy season, averaging nearly 26 points, eight rebounds, and five assists over 46 games.
