As the playoffs loom, the Orlando Magic face significant questions, particularly about their scoring capabilities. Ranked 27th in offense, they struggle to match the firepower of teams like the Boston Celtics. Despite having the second-best defense, their inability to score efficiently raises concerns. Last year, they averaged just 91.5 points in a playoff series against the Cavaliers, making it evident that they must elevate their offensive game to compete.

Key players like Cole Anthony and Paolo Banchero are essential to their playoff success. Anthony's energy off the bench could provide the spark needed, while Banchero, still developing his shooting consistency, is seen as a potential superstar. The Celtics, known for their defensive prowess, must find ways to neutralize the Magic's strengths in rebounding and forcing turnovers. If the Celtics maintain focus and manage the game effectively, they should have the upper hand in this matchup.
