The No. 7-seed Orlando Magic look to avoid going down 3-0 when hosting the No. 2-seed Boston Celtics Friday evening at the Kia Center. Here's a look at the essential game information, betting odds and keys to the game.

The Boston Celtics are back in the playoffs and will try to defend their title in 2025. Up first for the reigning champs is a first-round series against the Orlando Magic and Boston took care of business at home to kick things off by winning Game 1 103-86 on Sunday and following that up with a 109-100 victory in Game 2 on Wednesday.

This may be the closest game of the series if injuries begin to affect multiple players in the Celtics' top rotation, even considering Boston's depth.
