The Celtics first round matchup is set to be underway versus the Magic in the 2-versus-7 matchup in Round 1.

The Celtics are defending Champions and the Magic were defeated in 7 games by the Cavaliers in Round 1 last year. The Magic won 6 fewer games this season and finished with a 41-41 record. Their best players Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner combined for over 50 points per game in the Magic's frontcourt but the rest of the team was disappointing.

The Celtics are favored to win the series and a sweep is looking imminent. After a 2nd place finish in the East, the C's have seemed to be coasting through the regular season as to be ready for another playoff run.

In Game 1, the Celtics are favored by 13 points and look to get to a commanding lead to start the series in front of a sold-out home fan base in Boston.

Game 1 tips off on 4/20 Easter Sunday at TD Garden @3:30 pm.
